We're a trusted partner for schools across Victoria
We're experts in delivering programs and services that inspire and empower young people.
Schools choose to partner with us in a range of ways. We manage outside school hours care and school holiday programs, deliver swimming lessons, offer various incursions and provide awesome camp adventures.
With every school partnership, we tailor our programs and services to align with your community's unique needs – providing positive benefits not just for schools, but for children and families too.
We also follow robust safeguarding and child-safe standards to ensure our services are safe for all children and young people. Child safety is our highest priority.
