FEATURE

Walk into the new Youth Zone situated at B1, and it’s easy

to see we have settled right in!

Our Youth Zone is a busy and vibrant one; enter the space

and you can find young kids in the minding area playing

dress-up or coloring, while the older ones are busy trying

out Mario Kart or one of the many arcade games. On

the sidelines, Moms and Dads sit at the tables chatting or

reading while keeping an eye on their kids.

Every week, The Club’s Youth team create a myriad of

wonderful activities and opportunities for our youngest

Members to widen their horizons and expose them to new

experiences. From our most popular program Taekwondo

to Power Drawing, Race Car Engineering or even Brush

Lettering and Street Dance, there's bound to be something

for everyone.

The Youth & Family (Y&F) Committee supports the work

of the Youth staff in many ways. Our monthly meetings

comprise looking ahead and giving the staff ideas,

inspiration and feedback to help plan fun, compelling and

engaging activities and events. In addition, we also act as

a sounding board for planned enhancements to programs

and changes in offerings.

After each class or event, the Y&F Committee gives

feedback – both constructive and positive – to ensure the

continued success of all Youth activities.

and helped plan the new Youth space and facilities.
