Enrolled School had a fantastic opportunity for whānau and staff to gather outside the classroom to socialise and get to know one another in term 1.

West Auckland

Our Kelston Provisions, Tu Kokuri, and Residential students met at the nearby Archibald Park. The Tu Kokuri students oversaw the barbeque.

Families and staff spent time getting to know each other and ended the evening with a lively game of cricket. Both sides claimed victory. There was even a guest appearance by Winston Paws! 

South Auckland

The South Auckland Provisions families met at the Barry Curtis Park playground. Parents and staff enjoyed getting to know each other while the students played on the playground. Ginny Neal and Sarah de Heer from Christchurch came along to enjoy the fun. Nibbles, sweet treats for the adults, and ice blocks for the students were the perfect way to end a lovely summer’s evening.

Wellington

The families from Linden Primary took the opportunity to meet at the Aotea Lagoon to catch up and have a pizza party. Some mainstream school students came along and got to know the Provision staff and students better. The water park looked like a clever way to cool down after all the socialising and playing. 

Christchurch

The staff and families from our Christchurch Provisions, along with the residential students from the Sumner campus, held their whānau picnic at The Botanical Gardens. Again, much fun was had by the students on the playground, and the staff enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with each other. Some staff brought their children along to enjoy the event.

A huge thank you to everyone for working together to make this happen.

We want to welcome as many whānau as possible to our future events. Keep an eye out for upcoming events throughout this year.
