Newtown Holiday Programme

We are sadly no longer running a holiday programme, or youth programme.
The extra pressures and concerns of Covid-19 mean that we are not 100% confident in running the programme. As our highest priority is the safety and wellness of your tamariki/children, we have made the call that the safest option is not to run the programme.

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 (9-3 Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, and 9-4.30 Wednesday) if you need help figuring out this Oscar business.
Thanks to the following organisations for making our School Holiday Programme possible!
