An ADF families event: ADF Equip for 5 to 12 year olds, Adelaide
About this Event
NOTE: This event is only for current serving Australian Defence Force Members (ADF) and resident family.
ADF families in Adelaide, we are facilitating our ADF Equip program, which helps ADF kids adjust to the unique challenges they experience as a member of a Defence family.
Two sessions are being held the first focusing on supporting children with parental absence (Session 1 at 9:30am - 11:30pm) and the second focusing on relocation (Session 2 at 12pm - 2pm). Your child/ren are able to attend one or the other, however we highly recommend attending both. In addition if you child/ren is participating in the Children’s University Program with either DMFS SA or their school they will be eligible to receive a stamp in their passport to learning and either two or four hours of recognition depending on if they participate in one or both sessions.
The program is structured as a series of lessons, tailored to be delivered in an age-appropriate way. These lessons offer an opportunity for children and young people to have some fun, learn, support and bond with peers in similar circumstances.
Parental attendance is required. Children aged 13 years will be accepted onto the program.
Please ensure your child is dressed in comfortable clothes and closed in shoes as there will be craft and interactive activities on the day. Please ensure your child brings a packed lunch, a water bottle and any additional snacks they may require. Light refreshment will be provided by Veterans SA.
