We employ wonderful, caring, and experienced staff who really connect with the children. Our unique location – five minutes from the heart of the city and five minutes from kaka-filled native bush – means that we can take our kids on incredible adventures. Check out the next programme and book in early to secure a discount!
Attached is the result of the recent Aro Valley survey and comments.
Sarah Jane Parton, one of our much valued coordinators, will sadly be leaving Aro Valley Community Centre on the 5th of May. She has been with the AVCC since March last year, but is heading overseas with her family for a few months and then taking on some new projects that will leave her too busy to continue on as a coordinator.
The Aro Valley Fair is happening on Saturday the 26th of March and will
feature fantastic bands on two stages, stalls with food and crafts, and a white elephant. This year it runs from 10am - 10pm, with an all ages gig in the newly revamped hall from 6 - 10pm. Bands and musicians on the line up include: The Family Cactus, Upper Hutt Posse, Eva Prowse, Seth Frigthening, Terror of the Deep, Little Bark, Jessie James, and KazaamBLAM. The stalls include some exciting textiles, pottery, baking, photography, art, clothing, comics, and delicious food for eating on the day and for taking home. We are still looking for volunteers to help with the running of the fair, and if you're keen to help our with this community event please email [email protected] to register your interest and we'll get back to you to discuss what you could do. Would you like a stall at the Fair? There are still a few stall sites available, and you can download an application here. Bands confirmed so far include: Upper Hutt Posse, The Family Cactus, Eva
Prowse, and The Wall Street Jumpers, with many more to be announced. In addition to our main stage there will also be an acoustic/low key stage this year, with local groups performing. Would you like a stall? At just $25, or $40 with a table, you're sure to
make a bit of money selling your crafts/yummy food/wares. Download a Stallholder's Form here and email it to [email protected] or mail it to the Aro Valley Community Centre, 48 Aro Street, Aro Valley. Sparrow Construction have now finished their contract at the Aro Valley
Community Centre. They repiled the centre, put down a new Tasmanian Oak floor, put in new bathrooms that are accessible from the foyer rather than the hall, added a wheelchair ramp and handrails to the front of the centre, and did a spot of painting. The Wellington City Council's main contractors, City Care, are now moving in to execute all of the 'renewals' planned for this year, including repaiting the interior of the hall, installing better heating, and putting down some carpet in the office. The exterior of the hall will be painted after the Aro Valley Fair, and the hall may get a new, watertight roof in time for winter. No date has been officially set for the completion of the renewals, but City Care aim to complete the interior work by the date of the fair (the 26th of March). In the meantime a few of our regular groups will start back in the centre, and a few events will be taking place. We will let you know which groups will be shifting from their temporary lcations as soon as we have locked this information in! We are right in the thick of organising the Aro Valley Fair 2011, which will
be happening on the 26th of March this year. Stay tuned to see our flash poster (it's hot, courtesy of Mt Cook based artist Alice Baxter!) lining the the streets of Te Aro. |
