During the September school holidays the Tigers in the Community Foundation (TICF), through the Federal Healthy Active Australia program, took 26 primary aged children from the high-rise Collingwood Housing Estate for a three-day getaway at
The program, named ‘Bridging the G.A.P’, (Good nutrition, Active lifestyles and Positive futures) was a huge success and saw children from a wide range of cultural backgrounds (Sudanese, Chinese, Anglo, Indigenous, and Maori) come together.
The kids participated in archery, low ropes, bush hut building, orienteering, initiative courses, a trip to the beach and historic lighthouse, campfires and bushwalking.
Many of these children had never been out of
One participant, Khan (9) said: “My favourite bit was the Archery, I never got a bulls-eye but did get some close, and I also liked the food.”

The TICF have supported children and young people from the Collingwood housing Estate for almost 4 years now and the Bridging the G.A.P program will run every school holidays until September 2009 for three days per week.
