Extended Services
Final Selection
The final Extended Services have been approved.
Extended Services have been successfully implemented in eight schools to date. Key to their success has been the positive relationship that providers have with their principals and Boards of Trustees and the discussions they have held with the children, parents and communities of their programme. The final four providers have been selected and have some exciting plans for their children. They range from designing a musical at the programme and presenting it to senior citizens, to learning about global warming and sustainability.
All Extended Service programmes reflect what the local community wants for their children.

A picture paints a thousand words
The first four Extended Services began operating in February 2008, the second four in February 2009 and they have been providing some great new programmes for their children and young people. Activities range from setting up edible gardens and cooking classes to producing material for the school's FM radio station.
Additional photos will be added as they become available.
