The End of Year Staff kids party is back!

The annual ‘End of Year Kids Party’ is back and this year it is being held on Sunday 8 December. For a small fee of $15 per child, there will be a wide variety of activities available for employees’ children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Due to the incredible response to last year’s event, with more than 400 children attending, this year there are two parties – one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
