After School Hour Programmes Not all families are able to pick their child up Wednesday lunchtime or other days at 15.00 hrs., therefore, on every school day, the school organises After School Hour programmes at the different locations. During these afternoons children are very busy with art, craft, games, construction materials, puzzles, occasional baking, eating a snack and playing outside.
School bus service Children from the age of three years old and onwards can make use of the school bus service. The service is owned and managed by the school. A medium sized Mercedes bus and several smaller Nissan vans with seat belts are used to do a door-to-door pick up where possible. Each van has it’s own driver, therefore young children feel confident and ready to use the service.
Holiday Camps The school offers several holiday camp weeks a year. Each camp is organised around a specific topic and is run by professional staff from the school. In previous camps we have had topics on dinosaurs, the cultures of different continents, ancient Egyptians, artists, and the seasons. We take advantage of the good weather and do activities outside including go on nature walks, play with a splash pool, plant and maintain the garden, and make collections of leaves, seeds, and wild flowers. Inside we cook and bake, do arts and crafts, sing and dance, make performances, and play games.

An ordered and aesthetic environment ensures engagement and concentration. Upstairs is dedicated to gymnastics, music and dance activities. It contains balls, hoops, ribbons, balancing beams, Skippy balls and other materials to assist in the development of gross motor skills. Additionally, movement and dance is offered using the ‘Dalcroze’ technique. The violin teacher also comes in as a specialist for those children choosing to start an instrument.
