Unlike school, the GSF program comes under church restrictions during Covid 19. This means that density quotients and venue number limits would apply during GSF, and children and leaders would be required to socially distance. The auditorium at Bundy can hold a maximum of 73 people (based on 4 square metres per person) and unfortunately, this would not work for our usual GSF program.
If you are keen to be a part of the team, please fill out the Bundy Connect form found here.
Yes, we welcome friends to join GSF!
Please ensure the parent or guardian has registered their child to attend GSF by Sunday 3rd January.
We require registrations as we will be distributing craft materials before GSF begins, and will also arrange GSF Zoom groups in accordance with Safe Church practices (where only registered children will be allowed to join GSF Zoom, to prevent ‘zoom bombing’).
If government restrictions permit, consider inviting your child’s friends to your home to watch and take part in GSF together.
Registrations are required by Sunday 3rd January - Click here to register
GSF online will contain a YouTube segment and Zoom discussion groups. Children will also be able to see their friends via the Zoom discussion groups (these will be allocated into age groups).
This feedback was considered after a trial run of GSF online in September. We decided to continue GSF online during 9.30am-11am due to the ‘freshness’ of kids to engage in the morning, and for consistency in kids participating in GSF this year (our GSF program has always run during the morning).
Yes, we will keep the GSF YouTube segments up during the week, though it is encouraged that kids watch the GSF videos at the designated time so that they can participate in the Zoom sessions afterwards.
GSF Zoom sessions will not be available to view/join after they have occurred.
GSF online will be held in the same week of January as per our GSF program in previous years.
These dates are chosen based on the school year, allowing time for our team to prepare and put together the program (some in our team have work/teaching commitments during the school term).
No, but we do need written permission from each parent/guardian of the child, so that the child may participate in GSF Zoom.
This permission is included when registering for GSF.
All GSF Zoom session will be run according to Safe Church practices, and this year we have also cosen simple, quick crafts to lesson the burden on parents.
If your household has enough devices, each child may join GSF Zoom with their allocated age group on their own device.
If there are not enough devices, we will run a multi-age group so your family can attend the discussion group together. Please indicate this when registering for GSF.
We require a parent or a legal guardian’s permission for any child joining GSF Zoom.
This can be provided by completing the GSF registration form for each child. Please encourage friends to register by Sunday 3rd January.
You are welcome to arrange your own discussion group as a private arrangement, and discussion groups arranged at homes will not fall under Bundoora Presbyterian’s responsibility to oversee. We encourage you to think through how to conduct these arrangements in a manner that is above reproach, and we’re happy to give you guidance on this. We are also able to provide discussion questions and suggestions of games to play.
