Jolly Hockey Sticks!

An exciting 8 week hockey programme is starting at Moutere Hills Community Centre on August 2nd  for children 5 -12 years old. Come along and learn all the basic hockey skills and look to develop these skills in fun-filled practices and games.

Two sessions will be run on a Monday: 4.00 – 4.45 (5 – 8 year olds) and 4.45 – 5.30 (9 – 12 year olds). Please note, this time differs from printed schedule.
We are also keen to start an Adults Hockey Club one evening per week. Come down and play a friendly game with the local community. Any adults who may like to join, please contact us so that we can get this organised to get started asap.

Holiday Programme a Hit

During the recent school holidays, the OSCAR funded Moutere Hills Holiday  Programme was one of the best ever. The fantastic week-long programme culminated in a special final day which included archery by popular demand.  The children made their  own target depicting a fox and showed their skill as their arrows hit the target or sometimes just the giant hay bales. Mike Hurst from the Nelson Medieval Society really added to the day as not only is he an archery expert but he came dressed in traditional battle field garments – our very own Robin Hood.

Go Sam, show him how it's really done!

Over the five days, thirty-four children from six different schools came together, made new friends and played hard together from start to finish. Lead by Samantha Slade, the staff were outstanding and extremely enthusiastic from 8am to hometime!

We made some really cool stuff!

This holiday the children played hockey, learnt to play the drums, worked on their soccer skills, did lots of winter crafts, made giant puzzles, practised First Aid, baked, played bingo, ten pin bowling, mini-golf, basketball with the Nelson Giants, enjoyed Silly Winter Olympics and of course there were games, a quiz and something that everyone looks forward to: the treasure hunt finale!

Planning is already underway for the next school holiday adventure which will be at Moutere Hills from 4th – 8th October and is set to include a spectacular African culture day.

Can't wait for the next Holiday Programme!
