Free, fun & educational school holiday activities at WestCity Waitakere
The WestCity Explorers Fern & Nikau will host a nature themed educational school holiday programme from 1st – 12th October (10am – 2.30pm on weekdays only).
Week 1: Sunflower planting - we’re welcoming spring with a very colourful sunflower planting activity. Children will feel like little gardeners and learn all about Sunflowers. They’ll plant and take home their own Sunflower seeds to grow at home.
Week 2: Worm Farm fun - kids will learn all about the life cycle of worms, plus create and take home their very own worm farm!
WestCity Waitakere is the place to be these school holidays, so come join in the fun with our free and educational kids activities this October!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
