Term 4

Our weekly youth clubs are starting again and there are spaces at all clubs, so you’re welcome to give it a try, or sign up via Aimyplus for the term. Our daily Oscar for seniors also allows Year 4’s to join in Term 4, as a taster of what’s normally on offer for our Years 5 – 8’s each day. We do van pick ups from all local schools and many receive WINZ subsidies. You’ll find all this information on our website: www.yat.org.nz

Starting Week 1: Senior Oscar, Kitchen Klub, Craft Club, Rock Solid & Surge

Starting Week 2: Basketball Clubs, Kotirotiro Girls Club, Tamatane Boys Club.

Sadly we Cancelled our Family Fun Night (31st October) weeks ago because of uncertainty over lock-down restrictions, and government concerns about having such a large gathering indoors in close proximity. Please let others know who usually attend.
