Hurupaki After School Care

Hurupaki After School Care

We operate from the Hurupaki School Hall, providing care for the children of Hurupaki Primary School. We have a bus service that collect’s children from Matarau Primary school. 

Our programme is designed to be safe, engaging, and fun, catering to the needs and interests of each child. We create a warm, caring environment where children can enjoy a balance of activities—quiet or active, group or individual—while fostering social connections and recreation.
We celebrate the cultural diversity of our community and strive to offer a well-managed, inclusive service that meets local needs.

All children, including casual attendees, must be registered and formally enrolled before joining our programme.

Feel free to visit us if you’d like more information—we’d love to meet you!

Hours: Monday to Friday, 2:45 PM – 5:45 PM (during school terms only).

Afternoon tea is provided, and children can look forward to a variety of daily activities that offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor play on the adventure playground, along with organised games that promote teamwork and fun. During terms 1 and 4, they can enjoy time in the swimming pool, while on other days, safe and active games are available indoors. For creative minds, there are also engaging drawing, art, and craft activities, ensuring there’s something exciting for every child.
