KIDSTUFF<br />
Kids love CASPA!<br />
CasPa (Creative after school Programmed activities) offers<br />
children the opportunity to be creative, make new friends and<br />
try new experiences all within a safe, nurturing environment.<br />
CasPa offers working parents an affordable after school and<br />
school holiday programme that their kids just love!<br />
CASPA is now pleased to advise they have a new CASPA<br />
After School Programme at Harewood School on Harewood<br />
Road.’<br />
CasPa attributes its success to the variety of activities on offer<br />
as well as the convenience and affordability for parents. CasPa<br />
kids enjoy an exciting range of activities including sports, music,<br />
games, drama, arts and craft as well as fun trips. Previous themes<br />
and activities have included a Karaoke dance Party, CasPa<br />
Fear Factor, healthy art, out of africa and hundreds of other<br />
amazing themes/activities!<br />
CasPa parents enjoy peace of mind, knowing their kids<br />
are safe and enjoying the benefits of a quality after school<br />
programme. some parents and caregivers also enjoy government<br />
subsidies for CasPa. CasPa is Child Youth and Family<br />
approved for the osCar subsidy and in some circumstances,<br />
the full CasPa fee will be covered by the subsidy.<br />

Fast growing region<br />
The boundaries of Canterbury Plunket cover a lot of<br />
ground with volunteer groups and clinics based from Kaikoura<br />
to the rakaia river and from the alps to akaroa. Canterbury<br />
Plunket is the 4 th fastest growing Plunket region in new Zealand<br />
and we are proud support the largest amount of volunteers in the<br />
country also.<br />
Perceptions of Plunket usually centre on our government<br />
funded Well Child/Tamariki ora nurses that run drop in<br />
centres, clinics and provide home visits for new families. This<br />
is distinct from our Community services that make up almost<br />
a quarter of our total contacts a year. Community services are<br />
completely self-funded and reliant on volunteers.<br />
While administered and lead at a Canterbury area level, these<br />
Community services are run for and by the communities they<br />
are based in, responding directly to community need.<br />
Through Community services we offer the following services<br />
for rural families free or very cheap:<br />
• Tumbling Toddlers<br />
• Parenting Education (PEPE)<br />
• Toes and Giggles<br />
• Coffee/Support/Parent Groups<br />
• General Playgroups<br />
• Toy Libraries<br />
