Question 2

What if my child is already in Year 6?

Accepted Answer

That's absolutely fine! Children who join KICK in Year 6 can continue collecting stamps and complete the program during Year 7. They will still be eligible to graduate once they have earned the required number of stamps.

Question 3

My Prep child has serious sibling envy. Can they join?

Accepted Answer

Yes... because we understand that KICK excitement is contagious! 😄The important part is that they are taking part because they are curious and ready to learn. They should actively participate in the activity, give it a go, and engage with the experience, not simply come along to collect a stamp. If they are ready to be a KICK explorer, they are more than welcome to start early!

Question 4

Does participating in KICK cost anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but we have kept it low-cost so everyone can join!

There is a small one-time fee when you sign up for KICK. This covers your Welcome Pack, which includes your Logbook and everything you need to get started.

Some KICK Activity Hubs or special activities may have their own costs, depending on what you choose to do.

If you decide to graduate, there will also be a small fee to help cover the ceremony and celebration.
 
Overall, KICK is designed to be affordable, fun, and accessible for all families, so you can explore, learn, and enjoy the experience without big costs.

Question 7

How do I use my Logbook

Accepted Answer

Your KICK Logbook is your ticket to adventure!

Take it with you whenever you visit a KICK Activity Hub. After you complete an activity ask for a stamp in your Logbook.

Each stamp = one activity completed

There are different limited sections in your Logbook (5 or 10 spots), such as Sport, Art, STEM and more, so try to collect stamps from a variety of categories. This helps you explore lots of new and exciting experiences!

Once you have collected 30 stamps, your Logbook is complete, but this should not stop you from collecting more than that!

So do not forget to bring your Logbook along, keep it safe, and have fun filling it up!

Question 8

Why can I not get more than 5 or 10 stamps for one category?

Accepted Answer

You cannot get more than 5 or 10 stamps in one category because KICK is designed to help you try lots of different experiences.

This encourages you to explore many areas such as Sport, Art, STEM, Culture, and Community, rather than focusing on just one.

Question 9

What if I lose my Logbook?

Accepted Answer

Do not worry, it happens!

If you lose your KICK Logbook, let us know as soon as possible. If your Logbook is found and returned to Curtin, we will contact you using the details from your registration.

If it cannot be found, you may need to purchase a replacement Logbook to continue the program. Unfortunately, any stamps that were in your lost Logbook cannot be replaced, so it is important to keep it safe.

Question 10

Can I get multiple stamps at one event?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot receive more than one stamp for the same event.

For example, if you attend the STEM Festival, you can only earn one stamp for participating in the event, even if there are multiple booths offering activities and willing to stamp your KICK Logbook.

However, you can get multiple stamps for the same kind of event, such as dance class or visiting the museum, as long as these events are on different dates.

Question 11

Can I earn a KICK stamp for regular weekly activities?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you attend a regular activity that runs throughout a school term, such as weekly sports training or music lessons, you can earn one KICK stamp per school term for that activity.You can also earn additional stamps for taking part in special school holiday programs, workshops or other activities that are separate from your normal weekly classes or practice sessions.

Question 12

Can kids do the same activity twice for two stamps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but once a category is full, you will not be able to earn more stamps in that same category.
 
KICK is all about trying new things, so the aim is to explore lots of different activities rather than repeating the same one.

Question 13

What is the KICK Graduation Ceremony?

Accepted Answer

The KICK Graduation Ceremony is a special celebration where you are recognised for completing your Logbook with at least 30 KICK stamps.

It is a chance to celebrate your achievements, receive your graduation certificate, and share the moment with your family, friends, and the KICK community.

Question 14

What if I cannot do 30 activities before graduation (Time limit to do the 30+ activities)

Accepted Answer

If you do not complete all 30 activities, that is okay.

Your KICK Logbook does not expire, so you can keep using it and attend the next graduation.

However, to be eligible for graduation, you need to complete your activities before you finish Year 6.

Just keep going at your own pace and enjoy the experiences along the way.

How do I register for graduation?

Question 17

What is a KICK Activity Hub?

Accepted Answer

Activity Hubs are the places you can visit to learn, explore, and earn stamps in your KICK Logbook!
 
They might be schools, clubs, museums, community groups and events, businesses, or special activity providers around the Goldfields. Each destination offers a fun, hands-on experience, such as trying a new sport, creating art, learning about history, or exploring science.
