• Takapuna Trust Winter Fun preschool play sessions are underway again.

Takapuna North Community News

Winter Fun Pre-school play is in full swing and we’re loving meeting new families and caregivers as well as seeing our regulars back.

If you have a preschool child in the family and would like to join one of our Winter Fun Pre-school sessions, you can find a full timetable on our website (details below) or you can visit the Facebook page at Facebook/summerfunplay. You can just turn up to our regular play sessions at Takapuna Community Hub and Sunnynook Community Centre, but need to book in for the intergenerational play at Forrest Hill and Lady Allum rest homes. To book in or to find out more information, email roanna@takapunatrust.org.nz

On 11th May we held our second Glow Disco for adults with special needs, in association with the young people at Wairau Valley Special School Transition Centre. Thank you to all the awesome people who came along and danced the night away and to the brilliant disco committee at WVSS who designed the event. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

The annual Converge event took place on Monday 20th May. Around 90 Year 10 students from schools in the Devonport-Takapuna and Kaipatiki Local Board areas came together to attend this conference-styled youth summit. The students learned the process of how a project works; about engaging with the community and about working towards a project goal. At the conclusion of the summit, the students begin to work with the various community coordinators to either put on an event or work towards a project that is important to them. We look forward to seeing what these talented young people decide to do.

Our next Takapuna Community Network Meeting takes place on Tuesday 4th June from midday to 1.30pm in the Channel View Lounge, Mary Thomas Centre, Takapuna. All welcome. Come along and hear about local projects and meet like-minded community members.  A light lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to Sarah on office@takapunatrust.org.nz if you are interested in attending this meeting.

Takapuna Senior Citizens Association is looking for new members to help lead future events and activities. If you are keen in getting involved, or if you have a great idea for activities that you’d like to attend at the Takapuna Senior Citizens Hall, please get in touch with me (details below). 

A special thank you to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for supporting all of these fantastic events and activities in our community.
