What is Sanskriti?
Sanskriti is school holiday program for children aged 5 to 15 years. It is based at Tamahere community hall and children from all schools are welcome to attend.
We believe in giving children opportunities to do the things they love and enjoy in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Our holiday programme is focused on sports, games, art & craft & practical learning.
Our vision:
Helping children grow into individuals with pride in their own heritage, confidence in their identity and enjoying themselves. Physical fitness, spiritual outlook and enjoyment are equally important for our growth as a human.
Our aims to teach:
1. Traditional games in India that have been known for centuries to enhance visual-motor or sensorimotor coordination.
2. Easy yoga & meditative skills. Learning to be still can help us focus better.
3. Basic facts of what it means to be honest, respectful, caring, confident and responsible global citizens.
4. Mythological storytelling to enhance their imagination & values.
5. Activities that enhance core human values like patience, tolerance, respect, honesty.
In other words, this offers comprehensive and holistic education in a fun learning environment.
Your contribution:
$150 per child for 5 days.
$125 per sibling if older is involved.
$100 per child for 3 days.
Bank deposit.
What to bring: Children must bring enough morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, a drink bottle and a named hat for each day.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
