Frequently Asked Questions
If my young person lives and goes to school outside of Brimbank can they still register?
All young people that have a connection to Brimbank are welcome to attend. This could mean that you attend school, live work, play sport or visit one of our Libraries.
If none of these fit, we are happy to talk through options.
Can more than one of my young people register?
Yes.
Is it ok if my young person attends a few of the weekly sessions but not all?
The Rock & Water program is a six session weekly program that develops confidence, belief, self-awareness, connection and belonging.
These strengths are best obtained gradually from attending all sessions, thus participants are expected to attend all sessions.
We do, however, understand that things happen such as illness, which might mean absence for one or two sessions. This is ok!
I don’t have access or the knowledge to complete online registration forms. Can I please complete registration via hard copy?
Yes, please email bys@brimbank.vic.gov.au and we can arrange a hard copy for you.
