TAPAC Holiday Programmes
Western Springs
If your child enjoys performing, storytelling or trying something new, TAPAC offers a wide range of creative holiday programmes.
Children can explore acting, dance, circus, filmmaking and animation through structured and engaging sessions led by experienced tutors. Many programmes are hands-on and collaborative, helping kids build confidence, creativity and communication skills.
Some programmes also include a final performance or project, giving children the opportunity to share what they’ve created.
Creative Matters offers full-day art workshops designed to encourage experimentation, creativity and self-expression.
Led by practising artists, these sessions focus on the creative process rather than just the final result. Children can explore different materials, techniques and ideas in a calm and supportive environment.
With small group sizes, each child receives individual guidance while still having space to develop their own ideas.
