WHERE WE ARE
The College is located within 10 kilometers of the Nowra central business district, a major hospital, schools, TAFE, University Campus. It is also within 30 kilometers of the township of Huskisson, the picturesque environs of Jervis Bay, the surf beach of Shoalhaven Heads and the magnificent mountain range of Cambewarra. The location creates an excellent opportunity to provide children and young people with a variety of entertainment and interests.
The close proximity of the Naval Base offers highly visible aerial activities plus a Museum which can be regarded as a therapeutic tool. Overall, the location further supports the main principles of the College, which is to provide community and rural family out-of-home care solutions that can adapt to the specific needs of individuals and sibling groups. To provide long-term family care and accommodation for large sibling groups of children or young people, in a rural setting, from birth to ten years of age, while accepting that older siblings can also be included. The children will remain with us until they attain 18 years of age if determined by their relevant Court Orders. On attaining 18 years of age the young person will be transitioned into independent living and be supported by our After Care Program. We acknowledge the importance of keeping siblings bonded wherever possible and each child's right to a loving and caring mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts and grandparents, together with a stable, secure home in an environment that best meets their needs.
