September-October School Holiday Programme 2025

The Freyberg Community Pool Chill Out September -October School Holiday Programme is HERE! We have an incredible and engaging lineup of activities these holidays including a trip to Whanganui, The Dinosour Musuem, Centre Point Theatre show, Back To School party and much more...

ENROL NOW as we book up fast and we don't want you to miss out! 

Our School Holiday Programme operates from the Redsox Clubrooms (916 Tremaine Ave: down the long driveway beside Norwoods Machinery). We are open from 6.30am - 6:00pm every day. An extra charge of $5.00 applies if your child/children will attend the programme before 8:00am. We ask that all children are onsite by 9:00am for roll call every day, unless specified in the activity details that require us to leave earlier. Please check the activities you have booked for every day to ensure you do not miss any important details and that your child/children come to the programme prepared each day.

OSCAR Subsidy

We are OSCAR and WINZ approved, meaning you may be eligible for a payment subsidy. You could save up to 80% on your fees if not more! We encourage you to visit us at the facility (Red Sox Clubrooms) for us to fill in your forms. We strongly encourage those parents/caregivers who are applying for WINZ subsidies to start this process early to avoid disappointment. We are happy to email your forms directly to WINZ when they are completed and your deposit is paid. All WINZ bookings require a deposit to be paid per booking which is $40 per child for School Holiday Programme. If deposits are not paid prior to the commencement of the holiday booking, your booking cannot be approved. Bookings will remain on the ‘Pending’ status until payment/deposit has been made.

Important Enrolment Information

  • All children are required to show “school behaviours” such as being able to change themselves, and using the toilet unassisted. Staff are unable to assist with helping children get changed or help with toileting due to child protection policies.
  • Enrolments will not be approved if there are outstanding fees on previous bookings. If there is an unpaid fee/s for a previous booking, a new booking cannot be approved until fees are paid in full. 
  • Bookings must be completed in full on the Online Booking System: www.chilloutkids.co.nz

Day to Day Important Information

Everyday your child/children must have plenty of food for the day, which includes morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea as well as a drink bottle. Please do not send your child/children with noodles or other food that requires cooking or heating as we may not always be onsite. It's also important that your child/children wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the day's activitiy. Please also send them with their swimming attire (togs, towel and goggles) as we will swim at Freyberg Community Pool or offsite (if it is in the day's activity plan). We require your child/children to be able to dress themselves before and after swimming. 

Enrolments fill up fast so get in quick and early to confirm your child’s place on the programme.
