Kindergarten tamariki and kaiako show their Canterbury pride, posing for a photo in their red and black outfits.

In 2006 Mairehau held a special celebration, in light of it’s 50th anniversary. Members of the original establishment committee, as well as past pupils and staff were welcomed back to the kindergarten for afternoon tea, speeches and cake.

Mary Gourdie, a member of the establishment committee organised for many of the members to attend the anniversary. The photo below shows the members that attended in 2006, to help celebrate such a special milestone in Mairehau’s history.

One of the kindergarten’s longstanding kaiako, Sue, retires with a celebration, shared with whānau and tamariki.

Mairehau’s big backyard has long been the perfect spot for lunch with friends.

Memories from our kindergarten album:

  • Over the years, Kidsfirst Mairehau’s big backyard has remained an exciting hub of activity.

  • In 2005, the kindergarten celebrated their 50th birthday, and a party with whānau, as well as members from the original establishment committee was held.

  • Tamariki show off their kapa haka skills to an excited audience, date unknown.
