Pakuranga-rahihi Playcentre observed its 60th birthday on Friday July 31, in conjunction with the centre’s Pakuranga-rahihi Playcentrei (party). Everyone at Playcentre joined together to ensure that the celebration would be a memorable one.
Pakuranga-rahihi Playcentre, originally known as the Pakuranga nursery Playcentre, was established in March 1959 by a small group of mothers who, at the time, commuted with their pre-schoolers to the Howick Playcentre because the Pakuranga area was relatively undeveloped and bereft of any schools, churches, halls and community centres.
