The 5–11-year-olds will be transported by bus to Sacred Heart College for our services. The school is an 8-minute drive from the Arise Centre, and we will have transport available if your child needs you/we can bring them back if needed. If you are feeling unsure about your 5-year-old travelling, they are welcome to join the 3–4-year-olds programme for The Gathering. The children will travel in crews (small groups) and have buddies for transport as well as having a high ratio of leaders to children. We have thorough systems in place to look after your children and take transportation very seriously.
