Come down to the Whangarei Aquatic Centre and enrol your children into our exciting April School Holiday Programme! These holidays are going to be an epic programme full of adventures, creativity, prizes and of course lots of swimming each day.

Chill Out offers a safe, stimulating and fun environment for your school aged child/children. Our staff are experienced and we are OSCAR and WINZ approved so you may be eligible for a payment subsidy.

The School Holiday Programme operates from 9am-3pm, with additonal Before Care available from 7am-9am and After Care from 3pm-6pm. We offer a wide range of interactive, age appropriate activities throughout the day to keep the children occupied and having fun.

Enrolments fill up fast so you need to get in quick and early to confirm your child's place on the programme. We also strongly encourage those parent/caregivers who are applying for WINZ subsidies to start this process early to avoid disappointment and your subsidy application being declined.

Please bring a packed lunch for the day, water bottle, shoes, and swim wear.  We also have availabliy to purchase lunch from the cafe - just let the staff know and order on arrival. 

Looking forward to seeing you on our Chill Out School Holiday Programme!
