Newtown Holiday Programme
23/3/2020: Covid-19 Update
We're sorry to say that we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the Newtown Holiday Programme for April 2020.
Our highest priority is the health of our community, staff and young people and we see this as essential to stop the spread of this virus.
From Wednesday 1st April, we'll be running a virtual holiday programme! This will be a daily email with fun & educational ideas, challenges and activities for your kids, plus support for the whole whānau at this difficult time.
If you're interested in this and you're not already on our email list, send me an email ellie@newtowncommunity.org.nz
We run a fun and affordable Oscar-approved holiday programme for primary school aged kids (school years 1-6) at the Newtown Hall on Daniell St.
The programme runs for two weeks each holiday period from 8:30am-3pm.
We take a maximum of 25 children per day.
Cost:
Community Service Card holders:
$10 per day/$15 on trip-days (Weds). OR whole time: $80 per child.
Non-CSC holders:
$20 day/$25 on trip-days. OR whole time: $180.
(NB: you cannot book a trip-day unless you have booked 2 other days that week).
Contact the Community Centre a few weeks before the holidays to enquire about our next programme!
Our next programme is on weekdays Tuesday 14th April - Friday 24th April.

We realise covering the costs of school holiday programmes can be tricky for some families. Please let me (Ellie!) or one of the youth workers know if this is the case and we can see what we can do. You can call me in the office at 3894786 or email me at ellie@newtowncommunity.org.nz.
Many families will be entitled to an Oscar subsidy (not just families with CSC cards) which will cover the cost of the school holiday programme. This webpage has information to help figure out if your family would be likely to qualify: http://www.workandincome.govt.nz/individuals/a-z-benefits/out-of-school-care-and-recreation-oscar-subsidy.html Feel free to come into the office during the hours I’m in (9-4 Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri) if you need help figuring out this Oscar business.
Thanks to the following organisations for making our School Holiday Programme possible!
