SWAG and Shine Camps

​

The team organised SWAG (Spiritual, Well-being, and Growth) and Shine camps that run every term for our kids. These camps focus on promoting Christian values as well as building self-esteem and self-worth, supporting healthy and positive relationships and having fun! 

 

 

Kids Club​

​

Kids Clubs are part of our therapeutic approach to supporting the spiritual growth and wellbeing of our children and young people. ​Kids Club provides children with the opportunity to develop social skills and strong and healthy relationships with their peers and staff.

​

Homework Club​

​

Homework club is a free tuition program to help support the educational needs of children at WCF. It provides a fun environment that engages children and supports them with their homework and any additional areas of support they may need in their education.

​

Mentoring

 

Our team support our children and young people through mentoring sessions as we found that when children have a mentor, it can sometimes open up their world to many possibilities, learn new skills and engage in opportunities.

Chaplaincy for Families and Carers

​

Our Chaplain is available as emotional and spiritual support to families and carers. We understand that changes to a family unity can be challenging and extra support is sometimes needed.
