The Homework Club offers a structured, fun and exciting programme in a safe, caring and positive environment.

The Homework Club was established in 2002 by Belinda Slade at her home. Belinda is a trained and experienced special needs teacher.

The Homework Club soon grew in size and demand and moved  to a church venue. There are now 4 Homework Clubs in the Cashmere area, offering before and after school care and a holiday programme for 2 weeks in every school holiday.  The Homework Club is now managed by Sara Shamy,  a trained primary school teacher .

Amelia has enjoyed her time at the HWC over the last few months. Thank you so much for looking after Amelia and making her feel so comfortable and happy during the program, I’m sure we will see you all again soon.
