school holiday programme
We offer events during the school holidays! These events are open to rangatahi in Year 7 to 13 (age 10-18)
These events offer rangatahi the chance to connect with other young people, find new experiences, and explore hobbies in a safe and inclusive environment.
Please note, parents/caregivers MUST register on behalf of their young person.
We can also sometimes offer pick-ups and drop-offs to rangatahi in Ranfurly and Roxburgh. Get in touch to discuss.
