Activities
- After school activities are less structured than those offered during the Pupil Free Days, to allow children to wind down after the school day.
- The program's activities are designed to meet the interests of children aged 5-12 years. Children are offered the opportunity to participate in leisure and recreation activities including art, craft, games, drama, sport and physical activities, and cooking. Children also have some "down time" where they can watch television and movies on large screen.
- Providing quality care and enjoyment for the children whilst they are in our care.
