Primary Family Clubs
Heathgrove’s Primary Family Clubs are held once a term for parents and all girls in primary school. The clubs aim to fosters the human and personal development of girls in a family setting. The activities vary in nature, but always include an element of character formation, and community work.

Activities & peer mentoring.
Heathgrove’s Primary Family Club is run by volunteers (university students and young professional women) who also serve as role models and mentors.
In order to aid the personal development of the girls, Heathgrove's activities also include informal, individual mentoring from the club leader. Mentoring helps the girls to work on personal goals in a relaxed and safe environment.
Club staff members are also available to meet with parents regarding their daughter's participation and progress.
We work with parents in the job of forming and raising their girls especially in three areas:
Human virtues
Helping girls to take studying seriously; to desire to do things well out of a sense of mission to serve and help others; to learn to use their freedom (use of time, maturity, etc)well; to be honest, sincere and upfront; to be cheerful and resilient and many more.
2. Relationships
In their relationship with others – by being a good friend, a daughter, a sister, etc.
3. Spiritual formation
In relationship with God- progressively teaching them to pray and have a personal relationship with God. For Catholics- to learn to value and love confession and spiritual direction.

Fees
At Heathgrove, we try hard to make our activities and camps affordable. Everything is run on a not-for-profit basis. As well as this, Heathgrove itself is a charitable organisation (Heathgrove Study Centre Building Fund) and a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). However, there are still many expenses associated with running the Club activities, and these expenses are covered by the activity fees.
