Girls’ Brigade
We regret to announce that due to a shortage of leadership, 1st Howick Girls Brigade will be going into recess this year. It will be combining with the 2nd Howick company which meets at Howick Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evenings. All girls who attended 1st Howick last year are being encouraged to continue attending at the new premises.

Howick Baptist Church Kindergarten
Morning Session: Monday – Friday 8.30am–1.00pm
Afternoon Session: Monday – Wednesday 1.00–2.30pm
We aim to provide an environment appropriate to each child’s development where he or she can grow holistically in a caring atmosphere, supported by qualified teachers. We believe in the uniqueness of each person as created by God, and their right to a safe and healthy life. We understand the importance of the family unit and our responsibility to support all family structures. We take the Christian Biblical philosophy as the basis for how we view the world, our community and our curriculum. Combined with our Christian philosophy, our curriculum also strongly follows the Early Childhood National Framework of Te Whaariki.
