Holi Celebrations

Holi Celebrations

The centre was filled with excitement and energy as children and teachers came together to celebrate Holi, the festival of colours. The atmosphere was vibrant, with laughter and joy echoing throughout the space. Bright colours filled the air as everyone participated in the tradition of throwing coloured powders, creating a beautiful array of hues. Children giggled as they playfully smeared bright colours on each other, while teachers joined in the fun, creating lasting memories. The day was filled with music, dance, and the delightful taste of traditional sweets, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Holi marks the arrival of spring and symbolizes the victory of good over evil. It is a time for forgiveness, renewal, and the celebration of love and friendship. This celebration not only brought joy but also fostered a sense of community, reminding everyone of the importance of togetherness and harmony. The epic time spent celebrating Holi will be cherished by all at the centre.

This month is an exciting month at Active Explorers St Lukes where we prepare for the team at Oral Health to share their exciting annual presentation. We keep close to the Auckland University of Technology where this programme is run by the students. The children at the centre play a pivotal role in this presentation designed by the students as their contribution to what is offered determines the success of this programme. For the past 5 years we have incorporated this connection into our programme at the centre and it compliments well with our Healthy Heart Award (Gold) Status.
