Swans in Onslow

 

Since 2008, the Swan Districts Football Club’s VSwans program has been an integral part of the Onslow community.

Our team being based in Onslow means that we are a part of the community too, not just a service provider, and recognise the challenges of living remotely, and not having access to services that people might have in the city.

The purpose of Swans in Onslow is to improve the lives of children, young people, and their families, by providing opportunities for growth and connection.

  • Early Years

    The program has evolved during this time, building on the significant efforts of the Onslow Early Years Group, to become an integral part of the community. Programs currently include:

    • Paint Onslow REad

    • Parent Child Mother Goose

    • Fundamental Movement Skills

    • Sports Fundaments

  • Juniors

    Our focus on juniors incorporates a range of inclusive activities that cater to all interests.

    This included the development of an Afterschool Creations program, which gives kids in Kindy to Year 1 the opportunity to learn about STEM subjects in a fun and crafty environment.

    We also run the Homework Club in partnership with the school which provides vital assistance to both parents and the students.

  • Youth

    Our youth programs for children between 10 and 16 are based from our Youth Centre, but expand across different venues and locations in Onslow.

    Programs focus on developing resilience and leadership and providing opportunities for further engagement in education and future employment opportunities.

  • Sport

    As well as providing after school sport in Onslow, we play a significant role in organised junior and senior sport in the town.

    We act as an intermediary with state sporting associations who are unable to regularly visit Onslow.
