Services / Rock & Water

Rock and water is a 7 week program that runs for boys aged 9-12 years of age. This program has been established to help boys develop body awareness, emotional awareness and self awareness leading to better social skills and communication. A physical learning program Rock and Water was developed by Freerk Ykema, a teacher and advocate for boys education from the Netherlands.

The program has a preventative focus and equips boys with a way to think through actions, particularly when under pressure.

Currently the program is held twice yearly. The next program is due to commence 11th February, 2008 and runs for 7 weeks.
