Connecting with and supporting our Community
11/05/2023
Being part of and contributing to the community is very important to all of us at TheirCare. We are excited to launch an exciting new initiative called WeCare across all TheirCare services in 2023.
WeCare has been developed to facilitate connection between TheirCare children with their local community. This rewarding opportunity allows for children to learn about charities or local groups, get involved, and make a difference to their world.
In addition to learning about charity groups, through discussions and programming ideas, WeCare also encourages positive behaviour in children. Guided by outlined behavioural goals at the start of term, all children at the service will have the opportunity to earn stickers to go on a chart. Once a service reaches the goal of 100 stickers a $50 donation will be made to the charity on behalf of the children at the service.
Each term, each region (up to 12 services) will select a charity of their choice. By running it across a region, we can donate a substantial amount to each charity of up to $600 per term. All the services in that region will work collaboratively towards earning stickers to contribute to the donation. The children will know that they are working as part of a larger group, beyond their own service, to make a difference in the world.
In recognition of their efforts, we have organised a certificate and small prize for the child who earns the most stickers. This will be presented to the child in assembly.
This term, Holy fools has been selected for the East 2 Region.
We are so pleased to be able to launch this exciting initiative and together with the children and Educators, to make significant contributions to the local community.
Best wishes
