Navavarsha! Happy Nepalese New Year! 

Here at Murphys Park, we take pride in making our children’s culture and identity visible and as a whanau celebrate their special days with great enthusiasm and Aroha. 

On the 13th of April we celebrated Nepalese New Year.  As a part of this celebration, our children decorated the Himalayan mountain and absolutely enjoy painting the Nepal flag. We also danced along to the Nepalese music, we couldn’t invite whanau for cultural cooking experience due to covid restrictions but already looking forward to make it happen next year. Our one and only Nepalese boy dressed in his own cultural outfit on that day. 

Celebrating different cultures within the early learning centre is important to our learner's identity. BestStart Murphy’s Park whanau affirms and celebrates cultural differences, and aims to help children gain a positive awareness of their own and other cultures.
