Te Atamira's Arts Holiday Programme is back with two weeks of hands-on creative adventures for tamariki aged 5–7 and 8–13. With classes running from Monday 28 September - Friday 9 October from 9am, extended hours available.

At Te Atamira, each day is led by experienced artists and educators and is packed with opportunities to create, play, and explore through a range of art forms.

‍

This school holiday programme is extra special, with many activities inspired by the incredible At the World's Edge (AWE) Festival, which will be taking over Te Atamira during these weeks. Children will immerse themselves in music, movement, storytelling, and visual arts, inspired by artists and performances from around the world.

‍

Whether they're painting, building, performing,or experimenting with new materials, every day encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence, giving tamariki the freedom to express themselves and bring their own ideas to life in a fun, supportive environment.

You can find the full programme with our schedule of sessions and blurbs about each session at the link.

• For morning sessions, registration opens from 9am.
