Stewart House gives children the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle and to build self-esteem during their stay. This is delivered in part through our residential program. After school hours and during the weekends the children participate in a wide variety of activities.
The program focuses on developing self-esteem, social skills, team building, personal hygiene, development of healthy and active lifestyles, peer relationships and most importantly FUN!
Children are supervised at all times by highly trained Residential Children's Supervisors.
Some of the excursions and activities on the Residential Program are listed below. |

| Some of the excursions and activities on the Residential Program are listed below: |
The Powerhouse Museum
An educational, fun and 'hands on' experience. |
Sporting Events
On occasions there is the opportunity to attend different sporting events, including basketball, netball, soccer and NRL games. Children who attend gain greater knowledge of the sport and it is an opportunity to experience something new and exciting. |
Television Stations
Most groups who attend Stewart House are given the chance to attend the filming of a national TV show. This gives the children the opportunity to experience the production process, learn about media and meet a celebrity. For most who attend this is a 'once in a lifetime' event. |
Sydney Aquarium
A fantastic excursion for all children who attend Stewart House. Children are given the opportunity to enjoy all the Aquarium has to offer. They can face fears, learn about marine life, biology and the environment in a colourful and stimulating venue, alongside their peers and supervisors. |
Beach Activities
With the beach located directly across the road, children are able to enjoy sandcastle building competitions, rock hopping, sport and many other beach activities. These activities allow the children to develop coordination, peer relationships and learn about marine life and beach safety. |
Talent Quest
All children are encouraged to participate in a Talent Quest during the second week of their stay, with an emphasis on fun and participation. This gives the children the opportunity to build self-esteem and confidence, public speaking and performance skills, to share individual talents and skills with their peers. For many it is their opportunity to 'Shine'. |
