How great does a new decade feel! We have a few changes this year for Boys & Girls Clubs, so here’s some updates::
1. We’re starting to use new names for these clubs this year.
– Girls Club will also be known as Kōtirotiro, meaning, to be a girl.
– Boys Club will also be known as Tamatāne, meaning, to be a boy.
2. We have many of the same leaders as last year including Paddy & David (Tamatāne Boys Club) and Melissa and Amber-Rose (Kōtirotiro Girls Club). However, due to last years high numbers, and wanting to use the same space in the building, we have decided to run these clubs on different days:
– Girls Club/Kōtirotiro: Wednesdays 4:00pm – 5:30pm
– Boys Club/Tamatāne: Thursdays 4:00pm – 5:30pm
3. We are now only taking full term enrolments. This is to bring stability to the club numbers, which helps with planning and running activities, and also helps with our leader ratios. We currently plan on a maximum of 40 girls and 40 boys per club. Here are the links to the plans this term:
– Girls Club/Kōtirotiro Term Plan
– Boys Club/Tamatāne Term Plan
4. Registration is now $30 per term – INCLUDING the outing! We prefer this paid in one lump sum (if possible) either directly into our bank account, or eftpos. If money is an issue, do chat to us, as we don’t want this to stop anyone coming. To help us with transporting to outings, we’re asking parents to drop and pick up children from the venue if possible. If you can’t, we’ll take a van from our YAT offices.
5. Aimyplus bookings went LIVE TODAY! We’re giving you first priority to sign up, by not advertising clubs online until Monday, so if keen, book in quickly!! (payment not necessary on booking) using this link: https://yatclubs.aimyplus.com
4 Oct 2019
Term 4 plan is LIVE – click on the brochure link! It’s going to be an awesome end to the year!

If you’ve not enrolled for the year, re-register for the term on Aimyplus HERE or on the online registration link. Any issues, email: rego@yat.org.nz
