RISE - for Life's Bigger Lessons

RISE

For Life’s Bigger Lessons

Thursdays | 4.30pm–6.00pm
Starting 30 July 2026

The Joyful Place, Burwood

For children aged 6–10*

Some of life’s biggest lessons are not learnt from a worksheet.

They are learnt through trying, helping, making mistakes, working with others, speaking up, solving problems and having the courage to try again.

RISE is a weekly after-school membership for children aged 6–10*, designed to build character, confidence and real-world skills through meaningful experiences, team challenges, conversations, games and creative projects.

Each month, children explore a different value or life skill — not just by talking about it, but by putting it into action.

RISE is a place for children to grow in confidence, build stronger friendships, practise positive decision-making and discover what they are capable of.

About RISE

RISE is a collaboration between The Joyful Place and Share-Learn.

The program is led by Sharon from Share-Learn, whose passion for character development, confidence-building and meaningful learning sits at the heart of RISE.

Together, we have created a space where children can practise the skills and values that matter — for school, friendships, family life and the bigger world beyond.

Come learn, grow and RISE with us.
