Your first Sunday at Tribe
We'd love to welcome your family to Tribe this Sunday! Just follow the 'Welcome to Tribe' sign in the main foyer — our team will greet you, help you check in, and guide you to the right room.
1 · Check in
Arrive about 10 minutes early so we can help you register and sign in at our iPad check-in stations. You're welcome to stay with your child for as long as it takes to settle them.
2 · What happens in Tribe
Each week our kids enjoy games, worship, creative activities and age-appropriate learning about faith in Jesus. Preschoolers have their own secured room and sign-in station, with access to a fenced outdoor playground. Primary kids begin all together, then move into smaller, age-based groups.
3 · Pick up
After the service, head back to the check-in / check-out area to sign your child out securely.

TRIBE KIDS
Upcoming Events
A space for every age
Tribe is grouped into three age brackets, so every child learns and plays with others their own age.
Teepee
1–4 year olds. A gentle, nurturing space for our youngest ones to play, sing and be cared for.
Treehouse
Prep to Grade 3. Bible stories, games and craft come alive for our primary-aged kids.
Lounge
Grades 4 to 6. An older-kids space to dig deeper, ask questions and build real friendships.
Everything you need to know
A few practical details to help your family feel right at home.
Our children's program is run on the ground floor of the West Building. To get there, follow the path between the playgrounds at the top of our main car park. As you enter the building, turn left and there will be a Tribe Check-in Station.
Our Tribe leaders will then show you and your kids where to go.
Teepee: 1–4yo children
A usual morning in Teepee begins with free play and crafts. There are toys to play with, colouring pages and craft activities.
Children will then gather in a group for songs, storytime and other teaching activities. This is where they will learn our Bible story and Memory Verse for the day, which might be done through drama, puppets or reading a picture book bible.
After this, children continue with free play inside and outdoors in the enclosed playground.
Treehouse and Lounge: primary children
A usual morning in the Treehouse or Lounge begins with games during our check-in time. This is usually the time that helps our leaders get to know the kids, and helps the kids get to know other kids and leaders. This might involve ball games, card games or interactive games that children can watch or play.
All primary children then gather together for a large group session, which can include drama, teaching, worship, object lessons, memory verse and more.
After the session, the children divide into smaller year level groups for further discussion, activities and crafts to help remind them of the Bible story they have learnt about.
Before children can attend Tribe you need to complete our Tribe registration. This only needs to be completed once a year.
This provides us with basic contact information in case we need to get in contact with you. It is also to provide us with basic medical information regarding allergies, medical conditions and emergency contacts that help us best care for your child whilst they are at Tribe.
You can complete this form on a Sunday when you arrive, but you can also do it before you arrive by clicking the button below.
Your child's safety is a high priority. Tribe follows Safe Church practices, including Working with Children Checks, Safe Church training, supervision ratios, and secure check-in and sign-out.

Yes. We love partnering with families so every child can feel welcome and supported. Please contact us before your visit if your child would benefit from extra support, sensory accommodations, or a buddy.
When you register and sign your child in, your mobile number is linked to your child's details along with which service you're attending. If we need to contact you, we'll call; if you don't answer, we'll come and locate you in your chosen congregation.
During the school holidays, Tribe takes a break. This provides an opportunity for families to worship together in the services. It also helps give our Tribe leaders a break.
Kids Kits are available at the auditorium doors.
