Our Vision: Thriving woven communities Our Mission: Developing resilient children and youth of character Established 1989 The Primary Project: It is now six years since we established The Primary Project, moving from a programme to presence based model. We work with and  three local primary schools and their wider communities. The aim is to see the local school, community and church working better together for children and families to bring about four shared outcomes: Students achieving Families strengthened Kids enjoying life Communities woven Touch Modules: In term four each year we run two community Touch Modules attracting over 300 children and their families. These give opportunity to those children and their families who would not otherwise be involved in sport. It is a low key, fun environment with an opportunity to learn new skills and to be part of the volunteer crew. Origin Sport: Our coordinator plans several inter-school competitions each year for children in Years 3 and 4 at 5 local primary schools. The competitions are run between several local schools and are a joint venture between the school, the local church, Community Board and Sport Canterbury. Our coordinator also runs a holiday programme each term during the holidays.
