Queens Park Early Childhood Education

27/08/2026

We have our Polyfest performance tomorrow morning, 9.30am at Stadium Southland.

BUS/MEETING US THERE

If you are coming with us on the bus tomorrow morning, you will need to be here by 8.30am so we can leave the centre at 8.45am. If you are meeting us at the stadium, we will meet you there at 9am - please have your child dressed in their Polyfest uniform with their hair up (ponytail). The best place to meet us would be by the playground (between the stadium and velodrome) so you can meet us as we come off the bus - otherwise ask one of the helpful volunteers where Queens Park ECE are going to be.

If your child isn't booked in with us on a Friday, a parent or caregiver must accompany them (not on stage).

GOLD COIN

​Please bring along a gold coin donation to enter to watch our performance. There is eftpos available as well.

CARPARK

Please be mindful of the carpark at the centre - there will be an influx of vehicles coming in and out of it tomorrow morning around the same time so please drive slowly and carefully and watch out for our little friends. Due to limited space in carpark, please keep this as a drop-off only area. The carpark at the stadium will also be very busy so keep this in mind if you are meeting us there.

POLYFEST PHOTOS

Stacey will be taking photos of the tamariki in their Polyfest uniform at centre as well as before/after our performance. If you are going to be taking your child with you afterwards, please see either Stacey or Susannah so we can get a photo done and ensure we know who will be busing back with us.

Huge mihi to Awarua Whanau Services for putting on an amazing Matariki event. Our tamariki loved all the different activities and came away with lots of beautiful creations relating to the 9 stars.

Go Cairo!! QPECE alumni 🙌 So so proud of you and all you have achieved in your journey to this.

We welcome into the Sharks Whānau! 🦈

Cairo will be one of our two Development Players for 2026! He caught the eye of Head Coach Yim last season as an athletic wing with ceiling high potential!

“Cairo Lee have come through the Southland Basketball Academy under the guidance of Alonzo Burton and Connor Coll, and has shown tremendous improvement over the past season.

Cairo has the potential to have a bright future with the Sharks and wherever his journey takes him.” - HC Yim

Southland Basketball Academy Coach, Connor Coll adds “this is an opportunity that Cairo is not only prepared for but one he will take by the horns! His growth will be one to keep an eye on!” 🧡
