• Our Preschool Residential Course welcomed two families on site at the Christchurch Campus, and it was a week to remember. Jo and Fraser shared this lovely note afterwards:

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything this week. We are incredibly grateful for all the help, advice, information and care we have been given over the week from the whole team. We've been given tools to help Hunter's future, and we're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you all again for an absolutely amazing opportunity for Hunter and us. The whole team is incredible." – Jo and Fraser

Behind the scenes

Courtney and Cass (CHC EIs) said it was some of the best learning they've had – a fantastic outcome for practice across our provisions.
• A new teacher has been appointed for the Linden provision for 2027. Further details and an introduction will follow closer to the time.

Partnership and advocacy
