GUESS WHAT’S HAPPENING AT WANAKA PLAYGROUP? There is so much going on at the Wanaka Playgroup our heads are in a spin.
We’re turning 21!
Wanaka Playgroup is celebrating its 21st birthday this month with a fun party on Thursday 28 July at the Squash Club on Stone Street from 9:30-11:30am. All carers and their children aged 0-5 years living in or visiting Wanaka, as well as all past Presidents and Coordinators are invited to help celebrate, with face painting, birthday cake and lots of play. Bring a plate to share.
We’re fundraising with great benefits!
Our popular annual American Hot Dog Stand will be held outside New World on Saturday 16 July, with freshly cooked hot dogs priced from $4 each. We’re also selling tickets for our Winter Raffle, with great prizes including firewood, a handcrafted wood holder, and a scrumptious food hamper. Tickets on sale at the hot dog stand and through many Wanaka Playgroup carers.
We have a new playground!
Wanaka Playgroup was fortunate to receive a grant recently from the Graham and Olive West Trust. We would like to thank the Trust for our grant which has been used to purchase a much needed new outdoor playground.
We’ve got a new look!
Mount Aspiring College student Rosie Smith has designed the new Wanaka Playgroup logo which you will be seeing at playgroup, community events, and around town. Rosie has designed a great logo which represents Wanaka Playgroup’s philosophy, and is inviting, colourful and fun. We’d like to thank Mount Aspiring College for collaborating with Wanaka Playgroup on our new logo.
We have a new Coordinator!
After sadly farewelling our lovely Linnet Julius due to her new employment, we are pleased to welcome Anna Magrath as the new Wanaka Playgroup Co-ordinator. Anna brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role and we are excited to have her on board! Wanaka Playgroup is a wonderful way for carers and their children aged 0-5 years to connect on a Monday and Thursday from 9:30am - 11:30am at the Squash Club on Stone Street. Visitors are welcome, and the first visit is free, or $3 per family thereafter. Like us on Facebook @wanakaplaygroup
