| Past Playcentre Families Invited to share their stories | | 26th Feb 2008 | One of New Zealand's leading education organisations is celebrating its 60th birthday in 2008 and invites past members to help celebrate!
The New Zealand Playcentre Federation celebrates its Diamond Jubilee at their Annual Conference in May, and would like to collect stories of what effect Playcentre has had on the lives of its past members.
“Time gifted to their child is one of the most precious things a parent can give” says NZ Federation President, Marion Pilkington. “While the time parents put into playcentre is hugely beneficial for their child, we know it gives longlasting benefits to the parents as well”
“We want to include the stories of ordinary, and extraordinary, Playcentre members in our celebration of 60 years of this unique New Zealand institution.”
We hope these stories will honour the contribution of past members at the 60th year celebration at the Playcentre Convention in Auckland in May, and also inspire current families as we move into the next 60 years. They may also be included in a book on Playcentre's first 60 years.
All past and present members of a Playcentre are invited to think about what effect their Playcentre participation had on their life, and where it has taken them. Whether it was second chance education, a new career direction, or a closer knowledge which you see paid dividends as your children grew to adulthood.
Written contributions (of between 100-1000 words) can be sent to the Federation Secretary: c/o Jenny Jackson, Private Bag 543, Ngaruawahia 3742. Ph 07 825 4557 Fax 4517. Or e-mail secretary@playcentre.org.nz.
