What's On This Term?
We're still cooking up the details for Term 4, so stay tuned. For now, save the date - we're back on Friday, 16th October in both Cannington & Baldivis!
Hey Parents!
We want you to know that we care deeply about your teens and their safety. Our Youth leaders and volunteers are fully screened and trained.
As their home youth, we believe your teen is at the age where they need an older adult-figure in their life to lead, love, be a good example to them. We do this not just on Friday nights, but during the week, by checking up on them and letting them know they are not alone in their struggles! We want your teen to get the most out of their time with us, and have the opportunity to grow their relationship with Jesus Christ. In order for us to do this, we need your permission, by filling in the online form below. (Note: if you have two or more teens attending The Rocks Youth, please fill in separate forms.)
Please note: this form is not an event permission slip; rather, it is parent permission to tend to your teen/s for the entire duration of your teen’s stay with us as their youth leaders.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in contact with a youth director at 08 6114 7988 or email at youth@therocks.church.

What we do
Youth Nights
Youth Nights are the bread and butter of TRY. Across 5-6 nights each term, all year groups from Year 7 to 12, gather in the Main Auditorium for a night filled with light snacks, hangs, high-energy games, inspiring worship, and a hope-filled message.
Small Group
Everyone deserves a community of people who can love, support, and challenge them; people you can rely on to be there in the highs and the lows. That's why we've created Small Groups, a group of up to 12 people made up of the same school year and gender, led by a young adult small group leader. These Small Groups are the DNA of our youth, and the very place that life change happens: in circles, not rows!
Camp
Every year, in the April school holidays, TRY hosts a camp. For 3 days and 2 nights, we gather at a campsite where we engage in team games, high-energy worship, and intentionally seek God together. The weekend is filled with so many fun moments that develop into an authentic faith and life-long friendships. More info on this camp at the beginning of Term 1.
FAQs
What Safety measures do you take?
At The Rocks Church, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, valued, and cared for. We take our responsibility to provide a safe and supportive environment seriously, especially within The Rocks Youth.
We are committed to safeguarding children and young people through our Safe Church Policy, which guides how we care for, protect, and interact with those in our community.
All Youth Leaders and Volunteers are required to hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) and are expected to follow our Safe Church policies and procedures.
We value open communication with parents and guardians. If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns about your child's safety or well-being, we encourage you to speak with one of our Youth Directors.
Our heart is to partner with families in creating a safe environment where young people can build meaningful relationships, grow in their faith, and discover what it means to follow Jesus.

Will food be available?
Each week, our Food & Beverages Team in Cannington prepares light dinner and/or snacks for teenagers. We have water and other drinks available, but we encourage students to bring a water bottle to use throughout the night.
Note: This is not a substantial amount of food, so we encourage youth to have a hearty dinner before arriving on Friday night!

What is the General Flow of a Youth Night at The Rocks?
On a typical Youth Night at The Rocks, the first 30 minutes are dedicated to "hang time" in the foyer, café area, and outside spaces. This is a fantastic opportunity for teenagers to socialise, enjoy some food, and build connections with one another.
After hang time, we move into the auditorium for an icebreaker game, some lively singing, and an inspiring message. The evening concludes with small group discussions, where teenagers gather in gender-based and year-based groups to reflect, share, and deepen their understanding of the message.
We aim to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where your child can make friends, grow in faith, and feel a sense of belonging.

What is the Purpose of The Rocks Youth Small Groups?
Youth Small Groups (SG) at The Rocks are all about doing life together with peers of the same year and gender. Our goal is to cultivate a healthy community and encourage growth in a relationship with Jesus.
Each small group is led by 1-2 dedicated small group leaders who journey with the teens throughout their entire high school years. This consistency allows for deep, meaningful relationships to form among the teenagers and with their leaders.
The structure of SG nights can vary widely depending on the season and the group's needs. Some nights might involve engaging in worship, hearing a message, and having deep discussions. Other nights could be more about bonding and fun, such as going bowling or singing karaoke. The aim is to provide diverse experiences that help build genuine community and strengthen faith.
Small groups meet in various locations, from homes and the church to restaurants and arcades. The specific venue is decided by each small group leader based on what will best suit their group. If you want to know where your teenager’s small group will be meeting, please get in touch with their small group leader as the date approaches.

What Curriculum Does The Rocks Youth Use?
At The Rocks Youth, we use a blend of resources to provide the best possible teaching for our teenagers. Our primary materials include the ORANGE curriculum and sermon series from North Point Ministries. Additionally, we sometimes create our own content under the guidance of our Teaching Team.
This approach allows us to tailor each series specifically to the needs of our teens, ensuring that the lessons are relevant, engaging, and impactful.
