The Sport South Canterbury After School Programmes target Year 1 - 8 children and is built on the successful Holiday Programme. The service operates at the conclusion of the school day, from 3:00pm until 5:30pm.
Weekly and Term plans will be formulated to include the following activities:
• Roll call and sharing time
• Healthy afternoon tea (provided by Sport South Canterbury)
• Homework Time
• Structured physical activity session, using sport as the basis of activity
• Free play activities, including passive activities (arts, crafts etc), chill out time.
A strength that Sport South Canterbury brings to this area is the focus on creating positive lifestyles and habits around physical activity, not just about providing after school care. This is the unique point of difference for the After School Programmes delivered by Sport South Canterbury as key providers and deliverers of physical activity in the South Canterbury regions.
Sport South Canterbury works closely with the Out of School Care and Recreation (OSCAR) Network and other agencies, interfacing with programmes catering for children before and after school, as well as holiday programmes. Our intention is to provide a safe supervised environment for children out of school hours, with a focus on creating life-time habits around regular physical activity. The emphasis will be on fun and enjoyment and creating a positive out of school experience.
Sport South Canterbury has two approved programmes operating at the following venues: Highfield School, Rimu Street, Timaru and Temuka Primary School, Hayhurst Street, Temuka.
