We just wanted to take a moment to celebrate our incredible centre manager Melissa – the heart and soul of our centre! Managing a team of over 40 staff is no small feat, but she does it with grace, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. Whether she’s leading with calm confidence or bringing the fun to the staff room, Melissa knows how to create a workplace that’s full of positivity, connection, and joy. We’re so lucky to have her guiding our team and supporting our tamariki and whānau every day! We honestly don’t know how she does it – but we’re sure glad she does.
Thank you, Melissa – you’re one of a kind! 💛

🎨🖌️On Thursday night the Mātoro room held their annual Art Exhibition evening. Once again, this night was a huge success. Tamariki were able to share their wonderful art projects with their whānau that they’ve been working hard on over the past few weeks.
Thank-you to everyone who came along. 🎨🖌️
