🐣 An Easter adventure your kids won’t want to miss! 🐰✨

Join us on Saturday, 4th of April at Manchester Street School, Feilding for a fun-filled afternoon of Easter excitement.

🐰 Easter Scavenger Adventure Hunt starts at 3:45 PM
We’ll begin by explaining how it works, then children will head off on their adventure — finding hidden paper eggs, completing fun tasks and questions, and marking them on their Easter Adventure Card.

🛼 Skating disco kicks off as usual at 4:00 PM
👉 You’re welcome to enjoy the skating disco at the same time while the Easter hunt is running.

👉 The Easter hunt is open to everyone — you don’t need to skate to take part!

At the end, children will use their completed Adventure Card as currency to redeem chocolate or non-sweet prizes 🎁

💰 $12 per child

✏️ Please bring a pen or pencil

👧🧒 Suitable for all ages
🔸 Children 8 years and under must be supervised by a parent or caregiver

👉 Spots are limited — book your Easter Scavenger Hunt ticket here: https://skillsacademy.setmore.com

👉 Come for the hunt, enjoy the skating, or do both!

Lost property. Sunglasses have been left after Skating Disco. If they are yours give me message to schedule pick up.

What a beautiful day to kick off our Term 2 skating classes! 🌞🛼

Level 1 starts today, and it’s not too late to sign up if you’d like to join us. We still have space available, so feel free to reach out and secure your spot!
