Programme, trip brief and enrolment form
West Wave Holiday Programme, activities and trips operate under policies and guidelines set and approved by CYFS, OSCAR, West Wave
Aquatic Recreation Centre and Waitakere City Council. Pre-enrolment and payment is essential as the programme and day trips can book out quickly.
All activities have strictly limited numbers. This is to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all involved. It is essential
for safety reasons that parents or guardians initial the sign in and out sheet. Only people named on the enrolment form will be able to sign children out
of the programme unless prior arrangements have been made (ID may be asked for). Please ensure that your children do not sign themselves in or out of the
programme unless prior permission has been given by a programme leader.
 |
What to Bring: Children attending the programme need to bring their morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea each day. We recommend additional
snacks if enrolled in After Care. Children should also bring their togs & towel daily for programme activities as small groups may go swimming at
West Wave during the day. Please ensure all your children's clothing, bags and items are clearly labelled, as the programme accepts no liability
for lost or stolen items. Children are not to bring items of value including electronics, Gameboys, Gaming Cards or toys. Cell phones or cameras are also not allowed
unless they are permitted by parents/caregivers, it is to be held at the Recreation Office at the child and parents own risk. No camera phones will be permitted.
Trips: Depart the centre between 9 - 9.30 am & return by 3 pm, check-in is at 9 am (unless otherwise stated).
Participants will travel by bus/van/car/ foot to trip venues. Make sure that the enrolment form is signed so that your children do not miss out.
All trips strive for a supervisor/child ratio of between 1:8 - 1:15. (This depends on age/activity). Remember your lunch/drink, raincoat,
sunblock, shoes, sun hat and warm clothes.
All activities and trips are subject to change without notice. We will endeavour to give as much notice as possible however this is not always possible.
