House of Grace strategic direction"

The House of Grace Trust was established in 2001 by Treena and Marcus van Rijssel. Their dream was to provide a safe haven for pregnant young women. A place where mums-to-be could find the love and support they need to learn life skills, manage pregnancy and prepare for parenting. This is a charity that Port Nicholson support.

Allan Henry Motion/Performance Capture Artist

Allan is one of these rare people who at a young age had a very clear idea of what he wanted to do when he grew up. He wanted to be a cartoon character. So, he prepared himself for the role by doing martial arts, gymnastics, dance and acrobatics.

Are you planning to be away in December?

Please put the dates you will be away in the leave of absence file.

This is a huge help when we are doing the rosters for rotary duties.

Many thanks
