Children's University
Renmark Paringa Council is a member of and offers ‘Children’s University Australasia’ (CUA). CUA aims to encourage high quality out of school activities for children aged between 7 and 14 years, engaging the wider community as learning partners in this process. The most important principles of CUA are that participation is voluntary and activities must take place outside the normal school day during lunch, after school, weekends and holidays.
Participating members will have access to activities at Council locations, online and also in the wider community (Learning Destinations) including locally as well as state wide. These activities have been validated by CUA trained staff as good learning experiences.
Each child is issued with a Passport to Learning in which the hours of each validated activity are recorded. Once they have reached the required number of hours children will graduate from the Children’s University. Certificates will be presented at graduation ceremonies.
The program runs annually and concludes with an annual graduation ceremony run by Children's University held in the Riverland (date and location tbc).
