Following the review of the Lower South Island region, the Trustee Board have approved that the region will continue to operate as per the Phase 2 structure and therefore we will be recruiting for a new Regional Manager as soon as possible. We appreciate the patience and understanding of all staff and centres in the Lower South Island region and look forward to continuing the support for and with the Playcentres in this region.
