ALL ACCESS CIRCUS
All Access Circus – A Play Space for Neurodivergent Kids
Castlemaine Circus is piloting a winter holiday program for neurodivergent kids. We would love you to enrol in a class and then share your experience to help make the best neuro-friendly class ever for your kids!
The classes will be both structured and exploratory so kids can choose what to do engage with, learn at their own pace and have fun in the circus space. We want to provide an opportunity for kids to grow in confidence, be creative, be physical and feel welcomed.
There will be two amazing trainers leading and supporting the class of 10 maximum students. There will be a chill out area in the space with sensory play. The circus classes will have a quieter atmosphere (juggling, tumbling, aerials) while the parkour class will have more energetic one (leaping, running, jumping, vaulting).
Carers should come into the space to begin the class and support their child. Carers are then welcome to stay for some or all of the class with the option of going back and forth depending on what works best for their child. Carers can sit in the foyer and watch through the big glass windows.

PARKOUR – Wed 10 July
6-12 years, 1:00 – 2:00pm carer as needed

Parkour Homeschoolers Class
Parkour teaches participants to efficiently overcome obstacles in their environment and to seek out artistic and expressive ways to interact with obstacles while moving through an environment.
Participants will combine movements such as vaulting, rolling, climbing and leaping with expressive movements like flips, saults, spins and twists. Participants will improve their strength, agility, balance and coordination as they learn to traverse their environments and overcome physical and psychological barriers.
This special class for Homeschoolers has been designed to include all age groups together and gives the older kids more time and space to develop their skills.
MONDAYS
Parkour 5-8 yrs: 1.15 – 2.15pm
Parkour 8+ yrs: 1.15 – 2.45pm
The older class will run an extra 30 mins longer than the younger class. Families can hang out in the foyer or outside in the sunshine. Feel free to decide what your 8 yr old would be up for.
Term based enrolment (10 weeks). There is a 10% discount for the second or more siblings.
