Freeman Program
We are currently reviewing our range of programs offered and updated program outlines will be posted shortly. The Freeman program, involving our patron Cathy Freeman, and in partnership with the Cathy Freeman Foundation, works in conjunction with the Take a Break or REEF programs. Children from Palm Island (where Cathy’s mother comes from) come to Cottage by the Sea to share in a camp with indigenous children from Victorian communities.
The children take part in camps similar to the Take a Break and enjoy a wonderful seaside holiday in an environment and culture very different to their own. It is a time for sharing, for learning and for making new friends from different backgrounds. AIMS
The Freeman Program at Cottage by the Sea aims to provide a platform for children to develop and display:
- positive self-esteem and confidence
- socialisation skills and communication
- community spirit
- sporting skills and interests
| Most importantly, the program aims to broaden the horizons of all those involved. |
