Looking for something fun to keep your children occupied these holidays? We've got you covered! Running from 22 - 24 April, from 9am-1pm we have a fun programme exploring what it means to be a peacekeeper, and what that might look like at home, school, the sports field, and beyond! We're going to be looking at ANZAC Day, and going to the RSA to speak with veterans about their experiences. Book for the whole thing or just for the day, whatever suits you. We know that times are tough, and only ask for a koha as we love to support our community. We provide a yummy morning tea and lunch. Book your spot today by calling our lovely admin Rachel on 476 7137 or email stnup@xtra.co.nz

Are you going overseas for the school holidays?

When you return, you can now complete a digital New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) before you fly back into New Zealand – replacing the need to fill out a paper declaration card on the plane.

Everyone coming into New Zealand needs to complete an NZTD. You’ll answer questions about your trip and what’s in your bags. You can complete it at a time that suits you, on the NZTD website or by downloading the NZTD app, and submit it 24 hours before your trip back to New Zealand.

Download the NZTD app today!
