KIA ORA, AND WELCOME

Sunday 4 March 2018 is Children's Day. Children's Day is a chance for all of us to get together and celebrate the precious young people in our lives.

Children's Day – Te rā o ngā Tamariki, provides New Zealanders with an opportunity to celebrate and give time to children. Children's Day has been running since the early 2000s and is on the first Sunday of March each year. Hundreds of events happen all over the country throughout March, some big and some small.

Children's Day is about putting our tamariki first, including:

• Giving time
• Praising and encouraging
• Listening and talking
• Sharing aroha and affection
• Exploring new experiences

To join in on the Children's Day celebrations, you can:

• Organise and register an event, it can be big or small. Check out our event tips.
• Attend events in your area.
