Playtime at St Hilda's (Island Bay) confirmation
St Hilda's playtime restarts on Friday. We are reopening our play time for under 5's this Friday Feb 10th from 9.30- 12.30. The outside play area has been refurbished and is ready for use. For a trial period we will be open again on Tuesday and Friday mornings until we can get an idea of what works for parents and caregivers.
The toys, playthings and coffee will be there again so come and enjoy a relaxing time with your toddler and other caregivers and parents.
If you are a new parent or have a toddler come and give it a try! Parking is available.
We appreciate a donation to help cover costs.

Loki: lost 3 leg cat from Te Wharepōuri Street
Loki is up to his old tricks and has gone awol again. The last time was around 2.5 years ago when he was found inside a wall cavity in the Satan Slaves compound. He is an 8 year old lilac Burmese. This means he’s a kind of beige colour. With amber eyes. He’s missing his right front leg.
He’s likely to be shut in a shed or under a house in either Te Wharepouri street, Luxford or until between Luxford and te Whareouri St.
If you can take a look in any shut sheds, outside laundries or under houses cavities. Any 3 leg cat who can make his way into a roof cavity and then down into a wall can get stuck anywhere.
