TAPAC Spring Into Action Holiday Programme (ages 5-7)
Enter a magical world of drama and dress-ups! Children will improve their confidence as they learn acting, public speaking and social skills...
Through drama, movement, improvisation and voice, children will develop their dance, acting and speaking skills and be involved in a host of spring-themed activities to promote problem-solving, participation and imagination.
Children will use their voices, enjoy music and dancing (building rhythm, musicality, following, balance and co-ordination). They will also use role-play and storytelling to build an imaginary spring fantasy-land!
Children will work towards a performance on the final day, which parents are welcome to attend.
5-6 October
9am-3pm
$120 for 2 days
For ages 5-7

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)
