Three generations join in celebrations

To celebrate Dunedin Hospital Early Childhood Centre teacher Petra Wink starting work at the centre 19 years ago, staff and pupils dressed in costumes with a letter "P" theme yesterday.

Ms Wink, a German, largely learnt English through teaching at the centre and interacting with children and parents.

She is pictured with three generations of a family who have used the centre: Shona Tourell (left), daughter Zoe Parmenter, holding her son Hunter (1), accompanied by siblings Charlotte (left, 3) and Sophie (5).
