Hutchie Holiday Club

Next session marks the official launch of the Hutchie Holiday Club. The new holiday childcare service, which operates during all the school holidays, is run by the school’s experienced and enthusiastic After-School Care staff, all of whom are registered members of the Protection of Vulnerable Group scheme (PVG) and Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

The club offers multi-activity programmes to keep children entertained throughout the holidays. All the activities are designed to create adventure and excitement, ensuring the children have fun. It offers a safe, caring, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel valued and listened to.

The Hutchie Holiday Club benefits from the facilities available at Hutchesons’ Primary School, Secondary School, and its outdoor learning and activity centre at Pollok Park. Children have the opportunity to try out new, often challenging, activities in a fun, relaxed environment, which they may not necessarily get the chance to try elsewhere. This allows them to build confidence in their abilities which in turn increases self esteem.

The children enjoy meeting and making new friends. One of life’s greatest skills is being comfortable meeting new people. The children will also spend time outdoors which offers a range of benefits for both physical and mental health. Nature can spark a child’s inquisitive side and open their eyes to the small wonders of the world. Being active also promotes long-term physical and mental health benefits. At Hutchie Holiday Club there will be a range of exercise activities to ensure all children can get the physical and mental boost from a fun, exercise session.
