Wellington SPCA October School Holidays

In celebration of animals and the children that love them, we are hosting a series of holiday programmes over the first two weeks of October. 

We have ten school holiday programmes planned.  All programmes are designed to be very interactive and educational, using techniques supporting all learning styles.  We have a lot of volunteer support to help children maximise their experience with us, but for safety reasons, we ask that a parent or guardian accompany children that require one on one attention and children under 6 years old.  Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to look after children between two half day sessions and ask that children are dropped off and picked up as close to the scheduled times as possible.

We will provide a healthy vegetarian morning and/or afternoon tea at all school holiday sessions.  For full day sessions, please pack a lunch.  If your child has special dietary requirement, please pack appropriate snacks.
