Summer Holiday Programmes Update
Our office is closed for a summer break now, after 3 sweet days of holiday programmes last week. See Photos HERE. Emails will be checked on occasions for anything urgent.
Summer Holiday Programmes run from 13th – 24th January 2025 and spaces are currently still available every day in every age range.
- Kea (School Years 1-3) – including a trip to Inflatable World, Dudley Pool and lots of games!!
- Pukeko (School Years 4-6) – including a trip to Aqualand, 10 Pin Bowling and Ninja Valley!!
- Piwakawaka (School Years 6-9) – including a trip to an Escape Room, Ninja Valley and Jelly Park!!
Those in transitioning years can chose either programme for the January programme. However, we don’t allow people to pick and chose their programme according to the activity – please stick to the same programme for the whole two weeks to help develop friendships and connections, and allow others the opportunities for the special days too. We do offer WINZ subsidies and encourage you to apply. Most are eligible and you can see if you are at: www.workandincome.govt.nz/products/a-z-benefits/oscar-subsidy.html
The easiest place to make a booking is the Aimyplus App called ‘AimyMe’. Download the app by visiting the app store on your mobile device and search for AimyMe. Once installed, log in with your existing aimyPlus Parent Portal logins, and you’ll have instant access to the app. Or just use the normal website login: https://yat.aimyplus.com/
