Kindy Committee
Chairperson: Kate McGee
Our kindy is run by a volunteer committee. Usually this is made up of parents and whanau but anyone with time or skills to offer is welcome to apply to join. We are involved with managing the kindergarten, applying for funding, organising events and more. Committee meetings are once a month. We're always on the lookout for new members! Please contact us if you're interested in joining the committee or volunteering.
Ko te ahurei o te tamariki arahia o tatou mahi
