On Tuesday, some of our older children had a wonderful day exploring the Auckland Art Gallery. They enjoyed discovering different artworks and examining the various outfits and poses. The children thoroughly enjoyed getting creative with clay in the Artland exhibition. It was fantastic to see their curiosity, imagination, and confidence shine as they explored new experiences beyond the centre.

They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

We had an incredible two weeks of school holiday program at Mariposa, packed with so much fun and learning as children decorated cupcakes, enjoyed movie and pyjama day, took part in a scavenger hunt and had fun dressing up and being creative on crazy hat day.
We celebrated our five-year-old’s exciting milestone as they head off to primary school on Monday.🥳🌟
