Operating hours

After school activities will be arranged during the school year. The activities will not be provided during holiday seasons or on exceptional school days or on Saturdays.

After school activities operate daily from 12:00–16:00 or 12:00 to 17:00. The family shall choose in the service agreement the desired operating hours for the entire school year.

Apply for after school activities via Wilma system

Application period for the school year 2023-2024 is March 30, 2023 - April 30, 2023. 1st and 2nd graders and older with a decision on special support, who need after school activities and who submitted their applications during the application period, will receive a place in the after school activities beginning in the next school year.

You can also apply for after school activities throughout the year, but in this case, we cannot guarantee that all applicants receive a place in after school activities.

In January, guardians were mailed a notification of compulsory education including a student-specific keycode for creating a Wilma user ID for one guardian. The guardians enroll their children in school using the identifier they created, and the same identifier is used when applying for after school activities.

If you have lost your keycode or if you have not created a user identifier, ask for instructions online at: primuswilmatuki@vantaa.fi.

You will find more information and help for using Wilma here.

If you need help in applying for after school activities (e.g., Wilma system), you can go to a Vantaa Info service point. They will instruct you in how to log in Wilma, how to fill the application, and how to send it. Take with you the student-specific key code that was sent together with the compulsory education notification or the Wilma user ID you created.

If needed you can also contact Vantaa after school activities: iltapaivatoiminta@vantaa.fi.
