Maranatha Before and After School Care

Raising tech-healthy humans

We are thrilled to share this exclusive resource available for FREE for all Maranatha parents. 

Daniel Sih, a TEDx speaker and an award-winning author of his latest book Raising Tech-Healthy Humans. He is a Christian who writes and speaks for the broader Australian community, yet his teachings are informed by his love for Jesus and his experience working as a church pastor. 

 Daniel has professionally developed and filmed 15 short easy to listen to videos as part of a course to support Christian Schools and families. Normally priced at $97, the online course is complimentary for families with children in CEN schools. 

The videos cover a range of essential tech-healthy parenting topics such as: 

  • What is the recommended healthy screen-time limits? 
  • What is the impact of interactive media on my child's developing brain? 
  • When and how should I give my child a smartphone? 
  • How do I engage in relationship-forming tech-conversations?  
  • How do I encourage tech-free meals? 
  • What can I do to get my kids outdoors to have fun? 
  • How do we support each other to raise healthy, wholehearted humans as a community? 

We encourage all parents to engage with the course at your own pace or gather in groups and use the guided questions to have discussions. 

Code Camp  

Maranatha is pleased to offer the opportunity for Maranatha students to participate in Code Camp after school. 

Code Camp is an outside organisation that utilises our Officer Campus facilities on Wednesday afternoons and provides a unique opportunity for children to enhance their coding skills. This skill is becoming increasingly valuable in today's digital world. 

Please see the attached flyer introducing Code Camp. 

After-School Code Camp allows students to hone their coding skills and keep practising through weekly sessions throughout the term. 

The sessions go from 3:35pm – 4:50pm and sessions are open to students from Year 2 to Year 6. 

Please click on the booking link, which will provide further information on the program and cost. 

Each session is supervised by Code Camp staff.
