Holi is one of our most loved celebrations and a true favourite for tamariki, whānau, and kaiako alike.

 Bursting with colour, laughter, and connection, it is a celebration that brings our whole community together in the most joyful way.

A much‑anticipated highlight of the day is our Holi Colour Run in the car park, which has now become a cherished tradition at our centre.

Our tamariki showed absolutely no mercy, joyfully covering everyone in colour as laughter filled the space. These moments are incredibly special, reminding us that during celebrations like Holi, we are all equal participants, learning, playing, and creating memories side by side.

Throughout the day, tamariki explored vibrant colours, music, and movement while learning about Holi as a celebration of joy, friendship, and new beginnings. Whānau joined in alongside their children, strengthening relationships and sharing meaningful moments together. Celebrations like Holi reflect our commitment to valuing diversity, honouring culture, and creating a strong sense of belonging. It is days like these that stay with us long after the colour has washed away. ✨

 A celebration full of colour, connection, and unforgettable memories. ✨ These shared experiences strengthen trust, build confidence, and create lasting memories for everyone involved together.
