🔴Mālō 'aupito to all of the families who made it to our PASG meeting yesterday! It was wonderful to catch up with you and welcome some new families. We had a busy session with our usual trains, trampoline, colouring, sports equipment, chalk drawing and a new 'puppet making' station! We also enjoyed a delicious morning tea, music and special guests! 🌺
