Study centre classes have just re-commenced on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3-4.30pm. This is available to year 1-6 tauira. The kaiako are Elena Leask and Nanny Fran Wilson. Art classes are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at the same times and the kaiako are Rachel Jenkins and Nanny Fran Wilson.

The venue for both is Tarere ki Whenua Uta at 8 Bradshaw Street Bluff. The year culminates with a pool party at the Bluff swimming pool funded by Awarua Rūnanga.

The services are free but parents/caregivers must complete a sign-up form before tamariki commence classes due to health and safety reasons. Enrolment forms are available from the reception at Bluff Community School, Nanny Fran or from staff at the rūnanga office.
