An after-school and school holiday care programme for pupils of Island Bay School, based on Thames Street in Island Bay, Wellington. It serves Island Bay, Owhiro Bay, Southgate, Mornington, Houghton Bay, Lyall Bay, Kilbirnie and Miramar. It has run since 2017. After-school care runs during term time for children in Years 0 to 6, and the holiday programme runs for Years 0 to 8. Activities include cooking, discovery activities, sports, arts and crafts, and free time to hang out with friends. Parents can choose flexible payment plans, and can book and cancel on the same day. The service is OSCAR approved, so eligible families can have their booking fees subsidised. It shares revenue with the school, which the service says benefits the local community.
