Gemco has three groups running for children in years Prep to 12. All of these groups are taught by volunteer leaders and are very inexpensive to attend at the low cost of $50 per student per term (an average of $5 per session). On top of term fees there is also an annual ten dollar membership fee which entitles you to a copy of Gemco’s newsletter, covers your child with insurance, and attracts cheaper hire rates. The focus of all the groups is on having a go, making new friends and learning new skills, and having fun doing so!
All youth groups start back Wed 3rd of February, 2010!
