Bliss Definition: Happiness to the highest supreme; perfect happiness; pure ecstasy
More than ever, teenage girls are searching for fulfillment and satisfaction. Current statistics on teenage delinquency shows that they are looking in the wrong places for it. It doesn't have to be this way. Through exciting events and day trips, Bliss offers an empowering experience that will present young girls with other options to enjoy themselves in a safe environment. Bliss also encourages girls to aim high and accomplish goals in their lives so that they’re set up for success and their dreams can become a reality! It is my pleasure to invite and welcome you along to Bliss. You will be inspired, motivated and encouraged to succeed in life.
Kind Regards,
Jamie Myers Bliss Coordinator

Acknowledging girls with their personal achievements by rewarding them at the end of each year with an awards event
The Girls put together a three course gourmet Italian dinner, for their mothers on mothers day. They also dedicated letters and poems that they read to their mums during the evening. Here are some pictures that have captured these special moments at this wonderful Bliss event...
This year we kicked off with a fun event at the beach, which included mini-golf, a swim and a BBQ to finish things off. The girls also spent some time setting their new goals for 2010, which was a great way to start the year.
The Bliss Awards Ceremony was a successful event with 7 girls going home on the evening with their well earned prizes for 2009. The award winners were, Katie-May Wasney, Emily Hamlin, Mikayla Rouse, Dakota Sigley, Shara O'Neil, Rachael Nihote & Juanita Donelly. There's lots in store for 2010 and a few exciting changes are taking place for Bliss! So watch this space for our latest updates.
