Programme Information
Our children are important to us. As they grow up in this ever changing world we want to provide a place where they can be impressed by God’s never changing attributes, the wonders of creation, the humanity of Jesus and build proper human character. The Stars Holiday Programme is a fun-filled week comprising of a structured day where the children participate in organised games, story time, free-play, and learning experiences.
Stars Primary Holiday Programme is OSCAR (Out of School Care and Recreation) approved and has a supervisor:child ratio of 1:4 during the organised games and story time.
Learning Experiences
After lunch, the children participate in one learning experience for the whole week. We have a range of learning experiences to suit different age groups and different interests. Certain learning experiences are very popular and we may close enrolment to those learning experiences as we approach our cap. Please enrol early to secure your child’s place.
Our current learning experiences are:
