Bilingual Sessions at Paekākāriki Playcentre

Rachel Callinan from Paekakariki Playcentre

Kia ora Kapiti!
Did you know Paekākāriki Playcentre offers a bilingual session on a Friday/Rāmere?
Especially if, (like me!) you are just starting to learn Te Reo from scratch, it's an awesome and supportive (and fun!) environment for you and your tamariki to give it a crack!

We have the amazing Aimee Porteners on site every Rāmere, she is our Kaiarahi Maoritanga, (our teacher of Maori culture, practices and beliefs) and each week she provides us with tools to help us with our language and engaging with our tamariki.

Even if you belong to a different Playcentre, you're more than welcome to attend our Friday sessions as well!

It's a really brilliant resource to have right here in our neighbourhood, so whether you are fluent and want to practice your Reo, or you're a beginner, or you just want to come and play on Fridays, then come and check us out! If you have any questions, drop us a line at Paekakariki@playcentre.org.nz

And here's a little something to get you started ..Ka rawe! ;)

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

The wind is my enemy.
What am I?
