WELCOME TO KAS PUKEKOHE
Our Pukekohe programme was KAS’s first programme which opened in 1998.
We operate our programme out of Pukekohe Hill school hall and have full use of the kitchen facilities for food preparation and baking/cooking activities. Pukekohe Hill school has great playgrounds a large field and a large turf area that we also have access to during our operating hours.
We offer drop offs and picks ups to the following schools - Puni, KingsGate, St Joseph’s, Buckland, Valley School and Pukekohe Intermediate. If your school is not on the list of pick-up locations, please contact our office to see if we are able to pick up from your child’s school.
Our Pukekohe programme offers activity drop offs for local activities/sports clubs in Pukekohe only.
We run a Holiday programme at our Pukekohe site.

I like to bring a blend of fun, creativity, and genuine care to everything I do. I thrive on forming real connections with kids, and fostering an environment where they feel seen, supported, and inspired. As someone who’s always learning, I stay curious and open, bringing fresh ideas and approaches to my work. My nature ensures that every child I work with feels valued, while my creativity helps make our time together memorable and meaningful.
