Welcoming Week in full colour

We want to see our tamariki getting creative this month as a part of our Welcoming Week celebrations, so we have a colouring competition on!

The Welcoming Week colouring competition is now open and entries can be picked up from any of our Council facilities. There are prizes up for grabs that have been kindly donated by Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki Centre, Movie Max Digital Cinemas and Welcoming Communities. The competition will come to a close on September 22, 2023.

On that note, there  are still a few spots available to join the Te Ana Māori Rock Art Tour which will be followed by a tree planting ceremony tomorrow. Email Barbara@teana.co.nz to register.

Or if you are feeling like a sweet treat on Friday morning, you can go buy a special Welcoming Week cupcake from Millie Rose Boutique.
