WHAT IS CARTERTON KIDS?
At the start of 2023, Carterton School saw that there is a need for families in our school community to have some care available while the working day finishes. Carterton Kids was established to support our working whānau and we are happy to be able to continue to offer the high quality care at an affordable price in 2024!
This year, we have welcomed our new Carterton Kids Coordinator Kerry Rice. Kerry is also part of our administration team. Kerry has big ideas for Carterton Kids involving more fun activities, crafts, action stations and is looking forward to getting to know you and your tamariki this year. Kerry will be supported by some other familiar faces including Hirini and Lisa.
We are also on the lookout for a responsible and keen Year 8 student at Carterton School to help on some afternoons - if this sounds like your child, get in touch via cartertonkids@carterton.school.nz

We are happy to take children on a casual basis as well as long as there is space on the days.
