CANNING BRIDGE COMMUNITY SPACE

63 Kishorn Road, Mount Pleasant, WA 6153

IMPORTANT

Please be aware that these are mixed age/ability camps; each term, courses can vary in participants' age/ability. The content covered is the same taught to adults, presented in a format understandable for children aged seven and upwards. It applies to all ages/abilities. If your child/children will likely refuse to attend because they will be among younger children, please think twice before booking.

Mixed-aged courses are offered for multiple reasons, including:

• Inclusivity

• Courses form a relatively small component of my work; therefore, time limitations prevent offering additional courses.

• Split-aged courses have not gathered enough (older) students to be sustainable, and trials have previously incurred financial loss.

• Mixed-age learning develops tolerance, patience and emotional maturity, essential for emotional intelligence–a key topic of several of my courses/camps.

• Students under 16 are not permitted to join adult courses.

Please Note: I run a public speaking course for families, where adults and children aged seven and upwards learn together. Children need to be accompanied by adults, and adults need to be accompanied by children.

This three day camp for children combines elements from our after school courses:

• Tomorrow’s Leaders: Emotional Intelligence and Communication Skills for Kids

• Confident Kids Course

• Public Speaking for Kids

It’s designed to engage children with content that provides powerful life and communication skills, through lessons, challenges and activities.

Each day will include the following structure:

• 10 am, Emotional Intelligence Lesson

• 11 am, Confidence Building Activity/Lesson

• 12 pm, Mindfulness

• 12:15 pm, Lunch

• 12:45 pm, Public Speaking and Communication Skills Lesson/Practise

• 2 pm, Emotional Intelligence Through Art or Creativity

• 3:00 pm, End

10 am - 3 pm

Places are limited

The course is suitable for children who are introverted, shy, or those with anxiety or issues with self confidence. It’s also suitable for children with autism spectrum disorders, who are high functioning but who may struggle with communication. We provide an environment where they feel safe to learn and develop these life-changing skills.
