A relaxed group of all levels who share skills and enjoy the fun and fitness which comes with basketball. Elite players are introduced to the Ivor Burge competition.                                                                                                Currently in seasonal recess

Boccia
Similar to Boccé, Boccia debuted as a Paralympic sport in 1984.

One of our favourite programs. Led by song & dance legend Melissa Wimmer, this group not only has a lot of fun and gets great exercise, but they also work through the year, learning pieces that are performed at a popular end-of-year concert.  Called ‘Song & Dance’, but participants just wishing to dance are well catered for too 🙂

Choir / Junior Song & Dance
Led by the warm and welcoming Maryanne, this group is made up of people of all ages, including school-aged kids who have fun and build confidence in a wonderfully supportive environment. Parents are welcome to stay and have afternoon tea, while participants learn new songs, dances and prepare acts for their end of year concert.

Swimming
New Horizons runs two different weekly swimming groups — and there really is something for everyone. For learner swimmers who lack confidence in the pool but would like to develop skills at their own pace, come along to and work with Maggie in the program pool. For other who like to lap-train, this is an ideal fitness group and perhaps a great stepping-stone to joining a club.                                                                                                                Held at the Launceston Aquatic Centre.
