Lunch Clubs are for school age members (11 – 16 years of age) to receive tutoring in
homework projects, participate in computer classes, recreation and sports programs
and volunteer activities.
2.2 After school sessions (junior sessions)
Our After school sessions (11 – 16 years of age) are safe, well-supervised places to do
homework, play games, explore art activities, or simply hang out with friends. Staff and
volunteers work with young people as they engage in positive activities.
2.3 Evening sessions (junior and senior sessions)
Evening sessions are primarily for seniors (13 – 18 years of age). However, some
activities allow for juniors to participate. Evening sessions activities are generally more
robust and challenging for members as activities are provided to challenge and stretch
their current abilities, skills & talents.
2.4 Weekend sessions
These sessions are usually organised to provide additional time for young people to
further develop in activities and projects where there is insufficient time during the week.
2.5 Holiday sessions (provisions)
Holiday sessions and activities are generally an extension of term time programmes,
initiatives, and positive activities and are generally longer sessions. In some instances
there is more of a slant towards sports and educational visits (an example being
summer schemes).
