Leadership Conference – Tamworth

Leadership Conference 2020 is a COVID Safe event, modified from the usual “live in” program, to being a daily program 9am-8pm. The cost this year will include a cooked lunch and dinner each day. We expect the bulk of students to come from the North West region, and will monitor the health advice over the coming weeks to determine whether we will accept students from outside this region. For students from outside the North West region who wish to attend, please express your interest by contacting [email protected]

 

We will arrange billeting with Tamworth families for any students who cannot travel to and from Conference each day, please request this via email to [email protected]

 

Come with us to explore and experience “GOD WITH US”! Come and be immersed in the stories and truths from the Book of Numbers to encourage and shape a new understanding of “GOD WITH US” in our world and culture today!

Leadership Conference is an epic, five-day conference operated by Scripture Union NSW. It’s programmed to deliver a range of leadership training skills for established as well as emerging high school student leaders in grades 9-12. It’s a time for student leaders to get creative or be challenged in how they can lead in the their local school, church or community.

 

Leadership Conference nourishes, encourages and equips student leaders further in their leadership training journey that not only develops their existing skills but also endeavours to activate new possibilities and ideas on how to lead in the name of Jesus!

It's a big week of fun, fellowship, and full-on training in theology, evangelism, discipleship and leadership coaching!!

Leadership Conference is Christian in identity and is inter-denominational. We welcome students from across all cultural and church backgrounds.

To adhere to NSW Government guidelines, Scripture Union NSW has taken the following steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Campers and volunteers.
  • Reduced number of participants, both campers and volunteers.
  • All participants will be screened upon arrival at camp, including temperature checks. Anyone who has been unwell, or in a hotspot will be excluded.
  • All participants' health will be monitored throughout camp.
  • Strict plans in place should cold/ flu symptons be present, as per NSW schools. Parents will be notified of these plans ahead of camp.
  • Sleeping and dining arrangements are adjusted to maintain appropraite social distancing between participants.
  • Each Camp will have a dedicated COVID wardens overseeing cleaning and hygiene.
  • No visitors will be allowed to enter camp sites.
  • SUNSW will keep records for all participants to enable contract tracing in the event of a participant having a positive test within 14 days of camp.
Yes, please provide a comprehensive list of dietary requirements when registering your child onto camp. We are able to cater for most children with special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose intolerance. In certain circumstances, parents may be required to provide special food for their child to bring to camp.
All SU NSW Camps have Senior First Aid qualified leaders who will deliver first-response treatment in the event of an injury or illness. A decision is then made about whether further medical attention is needed and if the camper needs to visit a medical centre or hospital. The Director will contact the parent or guardian as soon as possible if outside medical attention is required for your child and if there are any major incidents that occur involving your child.
This is a responsibility of the parent/guardian, please contact the director if assistance is required. For further information please contact the Camp Director.
Most students who attend start off like this. But with all the programmed activities or workshops and discussion groups alike you will feel connected in no time, making like- minded friends!
Full-funding is available for anyone from drought-affected areas Other discounts also available. Applications are part of the online registration for Leadership Conference. On the second page, under 'Have you made, or do you wish to make, an application for financial support?,' select 'Yes' from the dropdown menu, fill in the 'Kids to Camp' application form.  Once submitted, please ensure you finish completing your registration form, and someone will be in touch with you shortly!

"Leadership Conference gave me the chance to DEEPEN my faith, CONNECT with brothers and sisters from different areas and CONFIDENCE to make God known in my school!" – Greta Pigott, 2018 Leadership Conference delegate.
Prior to camp, you will receive a ‘camp information pack’ by email with all the details of what you will need to bring to camp. Drop off and pick up times and location of the camp will also be included.
Most days look the same starting with solo time with God, then onto the main session which includes music, book reviews and the bible talk; followed with discussion groups. After lunch its workshop time to add more practical and godly skills to your leadership tool box and free time to hang with your new friends!! The evenings are school prayer and mystery fun events.
Not all leaders are preachers. Comforting someone can be leadership of equal value. Leadership Conference will teach you about many different ways you can lead.
Still not sure if you want to commit to the whole week of conference? Why not come for a day? Get a glimpse of conference in a fun and jam packed day! | Contact Dave (0401571978 or [email protected]) to inquire!
