🌺🔥 WEEK TWO… LET’S GOOOOOO! 🔥🌺

Well, Week One… YOU WERE A BIG ONE! 😂🙌

Even with a few staffing curveballs thrown our way, our awesome team put on their big-kid pants, tackled it like BOSSES 💪😎 and still delivered a week packed with fun, laughs, adventures and VERY tired tamariki! 😂❤️

But guess what… WE’RE NOT DONE YET! 👀

Week Two is bringing MORE fun, MORE adventures and probably a few more tired kids heading home! 🤣👇

🤸‍♀️ TRAMPOLINE CLUB – bounce, jump, flip and burn off ALL that holiday energy!

🏀 STADIUM GAMES – run, jump, dodge, shoot… basically, anything to keep those legs moving! 😂

🌿 BOTANICAL GARDENS – a little exploring, fresh air and nature time 🌱🌸

💦🦢 KIWA POOLS – THE MAIN EVENT! Our favourite day! We’re talking swimming, splashing, playing and having such a good time that the tamariki will be coming out of the pool SWAN OUT! 🦢😂💦

And because we’re officially heading into the LAST WEEK OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS… there’s no time to sit around saying “I’m bored!” 😜

🎉 THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER! 🎉

Come join us for one last week of FUN, FRIENDS, ADVENTURES, CHAOS (the good kind 😉) and plenty of memories!

👀 Spots are still available — so don’t let FOMO hit! Get those tamariki booked in and let’s make Week Two one to remember! 💥🙌

📢 Kia ora whānau,

Just a friendly reminder 😊

If your tamariki will not be attending OSCAR After School Care on their booked day, please let us know by calling, texting, or emailing our office before 2:00 pm.

We've recently had a few occasions where our staff have gone to collect children from school, only to find they've already been picked up. Keeping us informed ahead of time helps us ensure everyone's safety and allows our team to manage school collections smoothly and efficiently.

Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation—we really appreciate it! 💙
