Join us in the North Quad for a fun-filled Games Day these school holidays.
Hosted by the wonderfully playful Dorothy, a five-time teapot toss champion from Ranfurly, this free drop-in event is all about connecting, competing, and having a laugh together.
Try your hand at a range of giant lawn games, challenge your friends and whānau, learn something new, or simply soak up the festive atmosphere.
Whether you're young or young at heart, there's plenty of fun to be had. Let the games begin!
All ages. Caregiver supervision required.
