After School Programs

The After School Care operates week-days after school . The program provides activities for children from 5 yrs old to 16 yrs old. Activities are based around health, fitness, hygiene and team play.

Community Development Program (CDP)

The Community Development Program (CDP) supports job seekers in remote Australian communities to become \’job-ready\’, address employment barriers, and contribute to their communities through a range of high-quality activities.

East Arnhem Youth Model

Community members from Gapuwiyak, Galiwin’ku, Milingimbi and Ramingining are able to propose activities and projects for young people. These proposals are then assessed by local ‘Leadership Groups’. These groups of community leaders direct which projects and activities should be trialled in their communities to strengthen young people. The Leadership Groups manage a pool of funding to support the right activities, run in the right way aligning with a locally developed strategy. Through careful monitoring and evaluation of these activities, we work with the Leadership Groups to monitor what has and hasn\’t worked to strengthen youth, and how to adapt for next time.

Bees Creek Outside School Hours and Vacation Care offer a social approach and safe environment that shapes children’s social development and growth. We recognise the importance of providing fun, stimulating, and nurturing care for each child. Children develop interaction skills and are guided to identify their feelings and regulate their behaviour. Children are also guided to take responsibility for their own well-being and the feelings and consequences caused by their actions that affect themselves and others. Our program provides a balance of indoor and outdoor activities, as well as quiet times and active times so that children can learn, explore and grow in a safe and supportive environment. We believe that all children have the right to be treated with respect, kindness and fairness, so we provide an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and included.

This program delivers sport and recreation activities developed in consultation with community, to the people of Tiwi Islands at least 5 days per week, including school holidays.

Maniltoa Children’s Centre opened in late January 2020 in Coolalinga, near the Coolalinga Shopping Centre. The centre has been designed with a natural flow between the indoor and outdoor environments, where children can explore and discover in a play-based learning environment. Our goal is to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

There are four flexible groupings (infants, toddlers, Kinder and Preschool) based on age and developmental observation, and children move through spaces in collaboration with families and educators. The fundamental premise of the design is removing any institutional architecture and creating a home-like environment that is warm and welcoming and inspires early learning. Our curriculum, philosophy, and belief that children have the right to learn and develop in a caring environment drive the play-based educational program. We also offer a Preschool program (for children turning 4 years old before June 30) that runs five days a week from 9 am to 2 pm with a qualified early childhood teacher.
