Children's University Adelaide
Children's University Adelaide offers education experiences for children aged 5-14 and volunteering opportunities for 15-18 year olds. They are recognised for their achievements through the award of formal certificates and graduations.
For more information about Children's University, please visit the Adelaide University page or the Children's University page.
Passport to Learning is for children aged 5 - 14 years of age, with most activities targetting those aged 8 - 9 years of age. This is to ensure that children are actively participating and making decisions for themselves about their learning.
Passport to Volunteering is for students aged 15 -18 years of age who are interested in volunteering in their community. This could be helping out at their local sports club working with juniors, volunteering with a local group, or even at Children's University special events. Complete hours to work towards an official certificate that recognises their volunteering efforts.

Become a Learning Destination
Learning destinations are places, clubs and organisations that provide high quality learning opportunities and activities to students. Because CU will advertise learning destinations to their entire network (5000+ students each year), you will attract both local students and visitors.
If you are interested in encouraging visitation, building a community profile, and supporting learning, Children's University will help you to design suitable learning offerings both physical and virtual for you!
Other Learning Destinations include the Air Force Museum of New Zealand, Government House and Adelaide Zoo. Please visit CU Australia for more information on becoming a Learning Destination.
