The Y is super excited to be a part of the Mt Albert Primary community to deliver a fun holiday programme in a safe and secure environment.
Our school holiday programme, for five to 12-year olds, offers a range of activities from art and craft projects to STEAM to Sports - something to engage every child. We know how to make every day fun, while allowing your children to wind down after a busy school term.
The Y at Mt Albert Primary programme activities run 9am-3pm. The programme start and end times are 7:00am-6pm. There is also an option for a short day (8:30am-3pm).

For years The Y (formerly YMCA) has provided a safe and secure environment, where kids can just be’ and enjoy their time with us. We want to support every parent by not only being a fun programme, but also a safe haven where kids’ development is supported and learning is recognised.
YMCA North is Aotearoa’s first and only accredited organisation through the Australian Childhood Foundation (ACF). We are proud to lead the children’s workforce as a child-safe organisation. Find out more.
Yes, we do! As an approved holiday programme, parents who are eligible can access the OSCAR subsidy from Work and Income. If this is you, contact oscar@ymcaauckland.org.nz as we need to complete Part C of the application form, and you will need to pay a 20% deposit. There are different subsidy rates depending on your eligibility – check out www.winz.govt.nz for more information.
The Y uses an online booking system called AimyPlus. To book, you will need to register first on https://ymca-akl-ham-bop.aimyplus.com/ - this is where you will put in all your details, and information about your child/ren including any medical conditions, and who can collect your child.
Active kids are happy kids! Clothing children can move in is best, and for those who go hard, a change of clothes is always great to have in the bag. Children will need to bring a drinkbottle, sunhat, morning tea and lunch every day.
Unfortunately no, not at this stage.
We run out of Room 9 at Mt Albert Primary School while the hall is being renovated. Best entrance is Taylors Road Carpark - walk into the school and up the stairs, across under the covered court and down the stairs to our room.
Children must be signed in and out each day by an authorised person. You can add as many people as you would like into your AimyPlus profile to collect your child. If someone turns up to collect a child and they are not on the approved list, we will call you to confirm. If your child will be making their own way to/from the programme please email oscar@ymcaauckland.org.nz so you can complete the arrive/depart unaccompanied form.
