For parents
Where passionate Y2-10 kids connect with like minds
Who is it for?
Clubs is for Y2-10 learners who want more!
Curious, sparky kids love exploring ideas and sharing their passions, but finding friends who share their interests isn't always easy. Research by The University of Auckland's Our Voices Project highlights that 7.5% of young people feel uncertain about where they fit in.
Clubs is becoming that special place—where kids can discover their tribe, celebrate their interests, and challenge themselves in a supportive, inspiring environment..
Whilst many curious learners are neurodivergent, this programme is for everyone.

What's involved?
Clubs is an online learning platform hosted on Google Classroom.
To get started, you sign up your child for one or more clubs. Once you’ve been sent a log-in, you can start exploring!
We have a huge range of activities in every club, from tasters and tutorials to badges, projects and live online workshops. Kids share their work and ideas with each other, supported by the Clubs moderator, in the club stream. Kids can work on Clubs anywhere, anytime.
Parents or teachers help kids to create a Clubs Plan and check-in regularly, but, other than that, kids can explore and work independently within the safe, high-quality environment.

Who is it for?
Clubs is for Y2-10 learners who want more!
Curious, sparky children love to learn and share their interests and ideas, but it can be hard to find friends who share their passions, and support to challenge and extend themselves. Clubs is designed to meet these needs for our children and young people.
Whilst many curious learners are neurodivergent, this programme is for everyone.
It’s so easy to open the world to your curious child.
