Selwyn Parenting Network is delighted to be hosting its' highly anticipated SPN Children’s Day on Sunday 1st March - A totally free fun event for you and the whole family, proudly supported by principal sponsors Faringdon.

The aim of Children’s Day – which is celebrated nationwide on the first Sunday of March - is to heighten awareness of the importance and needs of children in society, and ways of promoting their development. It’s a wonderful day to celebrate and bring families together and show how important children are in our community. The main theme this year is to ‘put Tamariki first’, with a focus on encouraging families to get out in nature.

Our flagship event held at Foster Park consists of three action packed hours of fun, laughter, activities, entertainment and games for the whole family including free bouncy castles, free pony rides, free sports activities, free sausage sizzles, free entertainment and giveaways, free resources and free information.... yes, you’ve got it: it’s a fabulous FREE event for all families!! It’s also a great opportunity for you to connect with numerous children’s services providers and community organisations.

Pack a picnic, bring your sunhats and water bottles, and come and relax on the field at Foster Park, all whilst enjoying huge amounts of fun with your tamariki and extended whanau! Spread the word wide and far, and if you’re keen to roll up your sleeves and help us out on the day, you will be doing your Selwyn community proud so please get in touch ASAP!
