Great to be supporting the The Ray White New Brighton Duke Festival of Surfing at the Friday night Duke 2020 Outdoor Movie Night. More events over the weekend! Another great local family festival – love this place!

We can now confirm that we WILL be running programmes for South New Brighton School students next week, for FREE. We are in discussions with funders to help cover costs and will be putting together more awesome activities (to be confirmed). Registrations will go LIVE tonight at:

https://yat.aimyplus.com

As South New Brighton School is now closed for the rest of this week, we will be running an OSCAR FUN DAY everyday!! There will be the normal games, and activities, as well as an outing each day to somewhere special.  You can book online now for $30 a day at: yat.aimyplus.com

A number of community people have contacted us offering to ‘sponsor’ children needing childcare this week, realising it’s an unexpected cost. If you need childcare but the cost is a concern, please flick us an email: office@yat.org.nz or if you’re keen to sponsor someone, send an email to the same address.

Work & Income have just confirmed that if you are in their system and have a Oscar Work & Income Number (SWN), then their normal subsidies WILL apply!!!!!  You just need to give us your SWN number and the hours you’re booking for the whole week and we’ll do the processing for you.  Unfortunately, if you’re not already in the system, they aren’t able to set you up for this week.

Bookings are live for everyday this week at yat.aimyplus.com with limited spaces.

** Basketball **
We have been running hour long Basketball Coaching sessions for primary school years for the past few years, but enrolment numbers have been low recently, we have pencilled in Mondays form 4:30pm – 5:30pm for Years 3 – 6 if there is enough interest. If there are some in Years 7 & 8 also keen, Email: rego@yat.org.nz with the age of your child and then we can record if we have enough interest. Just $30 per term.

A new decade begins and our Senior Oscar is expanding, due to requests, to also pick up students from Chisnallwood Intermediate.  If you’re looking for after school care, with a variety of activities, in a nurturing environment and without the little ones, then check out our Senior’s Only OSCAR – just for Years 5 – 8!

We are MSD approved so there’s a good chance you may qualify for funding to subsidise the cost of OSCAR too. Fill in a few forms at the beginning of the year, and after that it’s easy! Check out what you could receive at:
