After School Program

After School Program is one of the key activities of the new strategy under Pillar 1: Proactive Community Intervention which aims to provide essential support and opportunities for children outside of regular school hours and which will also include a holiday program.

The program targets children aged 10 to 14, encompassing grade four to provide a balance between developmental readiness, academic engagement, and accessibility. The After School Program is also designed to empower at-risk children, their caregivers, and families by enhancing access to quality support services and building resilience and life skills through counselling.

The program recognizes the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children during the critical after-school hours and school holiday, where they can engage in educational, recreational, and skill-building activities.

The program was launched on the 7th September 2024  catering for 45 Grade 4 Students So far, we have held 15 successful sessions which are continuing into the New Year 2025.
