What is Sanskriti?
Sanskriti is school holiday program for children aged 5 to 15 years. It is based at Tamahere community hall and children from all schools are welcome to attend.
We believe in giving children opportunities to do the things they love and enjoy in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Our holiday programme is focused on sports, games, art & craft & practical learning.
Our vision:
Helping children grow into individuals with pride in their own heritage, confidence in their identity and enjoying themselves. Physical fitness, spiritual outlook and enjoyment are equally important for our growth as a human.
Our aims to teach:
1. Traditional games in India that have been known for centuries to enhance visual-motor or sensorimotor coordination.
2. Easy yoga & meditative skills. Learning to be still can help us focus better.
3. Basic facts of what it means to be honest, respectful, caring, confident and responsible global citizens.
4. Mythological storytelling to enhance their imagination & values.
5. Activities that enhance core human values like patience, tolerance, respect, honesty.
In other words, this offers comprehensive and holistic education in a fun learning environment.

$150 per child for 5 days.
$125 per sibling if older is involved.
$100 per child for 3 days.
Bank deposit.
What to bring: Children must bring enough morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, a drink bottle and a named hat for each day.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
