We’ll be running a holiday programme during the first week following the end of Term 3.

From astronauts to secret agents, join us for four days of awesome activities, including a Mission on Mars, designing a computer game, and protecting the world’s data from hackers! (If you can’t make all four, there may be availability to book for fewer days,)

• Dates: Monday 30 September to Thursday 3 October
• Time: 9.15am to 3.30pm
• Student ages: Years 4 to 8 (in 2019)
• Location: Churchill Park School, Kinsale Avenue, Glendowie
• Cost: $400 for the four days, which includes the use of a computer and appropriate software during activity time.

Participating students will be placed in groups of a similar level of coding experience and each day they will tackle a different challenge. These cover a range of skills and interests, and will introduce them to a variety of coding and digital technology experiences.

Activities 

• Mission on Mars: Code a robot to complete tasks on the surface of the Red Planet.

Places are limited: Places are limited (approx 8-10 people per project) and students will be grouped by age/ability. When it comes to offering places we will process enquiries in the order they are received. This is designed as a four-day course and first dibs will go to bookings for the entire four days.

If we are unable to fill all the places for the four-day course, we may be able to offer single days at $125 each. Let us know if you only want a single day and we’ll add you to a waiting list.

Payment: Payment for our holiday programme is by credit card only (via PayPal) and is required to be made before activities begin.
