Afterschool Programme – Term 4, 2026

From clay and making to creative exploration, each session is designed to encourage curiosity, confidence and plenty of imagination. Here’s the classes on offer in Term 4:

• Tuesdays | Creative Studio‍
• All Levels | Year 3 – Year 8
• • Unleash your inner artist in this fun and exploratory creative class focused on developing skills for older tamariki! Young creatives will build confidence as they explore drawing, painting, mixed media, and a variety of hands-on artmaking techniques. Experiment with different materials, styles, and processes to develop artistic skills and create unique artworks. With opportunities to extend ideas and techniques, students of all experience levels can work at their own pace and follow their creativity. Perfect for anyone who loves to experiment, make, and discover where their ideas can take them!

• Wednesdays | Clay Skills: Sgraffito‍
• Intermediate | Year 1 – Year 8
  • Ever wanted to carve your own stories into clay? This term, we’re going beyond the basics! In this 1.5-hour weekly workshop, young potters will master the sgraffito technique. The projects will be different to the sgraffito projects completed last term. Once the clay is “leather-hard,” we’ll use professional carving tools to scratch away patterns, revealing positive and negative space to create stunning high-contrast art. As this this term is developing higher skills with sgraffito, we ask that participants have ideally attended a clay session before and have a basic understanding of clay building techniques.

• Thursdays | Creative Studio‍
• All Levels | New Entrants – Year 2
  • Unleash your inner artist in this fun and exploratory creative class focused on foundation skills for younger tamariki! Young creatives will build confidence as they explore drawing, painting, mixed media, and a variety of hands-on artmaking techniques. Experiment with different materials, styles, and processes to develop artistic skills and create unique artworks. With opportunities to extend ideas and techniques, students of all experience levels can work at their own pace and follow their creativity. Perfect for anyone who loves to experiment, make, and discover where their ideas can take them!

New to the programme? Come and have a go! If you’re not sure if the Afterschool Programme is right for your tamariki, you can try a Taster Session during the first week of Term, with the classes happening on 13–15 October. This is a chance to meet our Education Team, get stuck into a creative session and see what we’re all about – before committing to the full term. There is an option for you to select both the taster and the full term if you wish to attend both.

Everything is provided, so all your tamariki need to bring is their imagination and a willingness to get creative.
