sKids- Before and After School Care
At sKids Pillans Point your kids will find fun, friends and new challenges.
Before School we provide a tasty breakfast, giving each child the right start for a great day of learning. We’ll play a group game or activity and then make time to do homework if it’s needed.
After School we serve a nutritious afternoon tea, run an activity, and deal to any homework so you don’t have to! Whether you need care for full weeks or a few days a term, your child will be safe, secure, and having a great time.
School Holidays are filled with fun and adventure. Our Holiday Programmes take your kids on a journey of discovery and creativity with crafts, science experiments, sports and games, teamwork challenges and lots more. We even go out on and explore our community for trip days!

Feet First
Will you partner with us to reduce after school traffic? The Tauranga City Council are fielding complaints about our school traffic! Alongside this, as a school we want to keep kids safe. Pillans Point School is growing. Our after school traffic problem, will only get better, if we are all committed to making some changes.
Pillans Point School are working with the Tauranga City Council and NZ Police to develop healthy habits, that will also reduce our traffic problems. All children have attended either Reuben the Road Safety Bear, or Dan the Puppet Man regarding road safety. The Year 1 to Year 4 children have also had practical road crossing lessons from the NZ Police.
This is an incentives based programme to get kids walking, scootering, biking, or park 'n' striding to school. Park 'n' stride is to reduce the traffic at the turn around by parking at least 500m away from the school e.g. Countdown, Rutherford Park, or along Pillans Road. Children will walk to your agreed location after school.
For your children to get involved in this programme they need to ask their teacher for a Feet First card. Then everytime they walk, scooter, bike or park 'n' stride they tell their teacher and get their card stamped. After receiving a certain number of stamps they will be rewarded with bag tags.
