Dot Power 2026
The Dot Power program is for students in Prep to Year 3 who use braille as their primary learning medium. The program is open to parents of pre-schoolers, too. It is a great opportunity for teachers, family members and others to get involved and learn about braille and tactile graphics, along with teaching with braille.
In 2026, we will welcome one group of Dot Power students, families and school personnel on one day in Terms 2, 3 and 4. Eligible students' families will receive invitations to the appropriate days for them. VTs will also be copied in to these invitations and are very welcome to attend any Dot Power days.
In 2026 we intend to have Dot Power on the following days: ‘
Term 2
May 19
Term 3
August 11
Term 4
October 27
Note: Each year, it is our hope that the older Dot Power students will 'graduate' to the Support Skills Program, which runs at the SVRC on Fridays and is for students from Year 4 to 10. So these older students may not have a term 4 Dot Power day, but will be invited to attend a Support Skills Try Day.
