Now in its 18th year, NRG has been serving the North Ryde Community with over 3000 participants who have progressed through the K-12 program.
NRG (North Ryde Games) is a children’s holiday program with a difference. The Kindy-Yr 6 program includes age appropriate activities including dramas, singing, activities, craft. The program incorporates morning electives where our teenage development leaders assist in program delivery, and afternoon electives provided by external professional providers.
NRG is based on the life and teachings of Jesus found in the bible. All faith backgrounds are welcome to attend our positive, inclusive and respectful program. The program is organised by staff from St John’s Anglican Church North Ryde. Paid staff have been police checked and have completed all Working With Children government requirements and safe ministry training provided by the Sydney Anglican Diocese.
The $200 Registration cost includes T-Shirt, Cap, Daily Morning Tea, craft and all activity costs. We have tried to keep the price as low as possible to include as many local students that we can during the difficult cost of living crisis. Many external school holiday events can cost $200 for just one day. We do understand that this is still too much for some families, and generous community sponsors subsidise the program, so please contact us if you require assitance.
Part Time Registration. There is no daily rate for NRG. The program is designed sequentially allowing students to build on conepts and themes each day throughout the week. Students learn content not just in a fun and multimodal way, but in relationship with both leaders and their peers. Hence, we encourage parents to make the full five day a priority over other activities. We receive no external funding for NRG and the program is reliant on thousands of hours of donated time from both teenage leaders and supporting adults. Fixed costs consume most of the registration price of $200 – T-Shirt, Cap, Printing and external providers.
We are very thankful for our external professional afternoon activity providers and encourage you to consider accessing their weekly programs throughout term 3.
The program runs from Mon 7th July 2025 until Friday 11th July. On the Friday there is a multicultural feast and celebration concert. Children can be picked up at the usual time of 3pm, but we offer extended supervision until 5pm. At 5pm we invite parents to join us in the playground at St John’s for a multicultural feast, followed by a live family inclusive concert that commences at 5:30 and finishes by 6pm.
We have capacity to cater for children with special needs, but the arrangements need to be in place before registration. The site is a nut free zone. If your child has additional health needs, please do contact us. We have both a defribillator and Epipen’s onsite with trained staff.
