7 – 13 year olds
Whether your child wants to tackle their homework, unleash their creative side or gear up for some sporting action, Youthtown runs a great range of activities as part of their after school programme.
Run in a safe and nurturing environment, each afternoon is kicked off with a ‘fair play’ briefing and a nutritious afternoon tea (menu is displayed on notice board for parents’ reference).
Activities are categorised into zones. These include:
GYM ZONE
Fun and innovative team games like soccer, badminton and volleyball are run regularly each afternoon – a healthy and productive way of burning excess energy!
COOKING ZONE
Mmmm mmmm! The cooking zone operates three times a week and is a great place for kids to master fun and simple recipes (not to mention the art of cleaning up)!
ACTION ZONE
The ultimate place to chill out after a hard day at school! Sing Star, Buzz, dress ups, pool, table tennis and marbles are just some of the cool things kids can get up to.
DISCOVERY CENTRE
Who knew learning could be so much fun?! The Discovery Centre is a place where kids can launch into their homework under the watchful eye of our Discovery Centre coordinators. Once homework is complete, fun quizzes, board games and other cool activities make the Discovery Centre come to life!
Join the club!
Children enrolled in Youthtown’s after school programme can choose to join specialist clubs at no extra cost! Homework club, art club, cultural club, dance club and sewing club are just some of the groups on offer. New clubs are added each term which means fun and learning at Youthtown is forever evolving!
Art clubs
Always buzzing with excitement, Youthtown’s art programmes provide fuel for creative minds after the school bell rings. With a range of clubs, projects and age appropriate activities to choose from, kids can let their imaginations run wild and their ideas take flight!
Rain, hail or shine!
Whatever the weather, nothing can dampen Youthtown’s after school programmes. During the warm summer months, programme coordinators will often arrange visits to local parks and beaches (with parental consent of course), while programmes are run indoors during the winter.
The fun doesn’t stop when it’s raining; however Youthtown provides no television viewing for attendees.
THE LOW DOWN:
The after school programme costs vary depending on how many days your child attends and how far in advance you decide to pay. The following table provides a guideline to our fees:
| Amount per Day | Days per Week | Payment |
| $13 | 1- 5 | 2 wks in advance |
| $12 | 1- 5 | Whole term |
| Extra siblings will receive a 20% discount on their enrolled days | ||
