Papakura Family Service Centre

Welcome to the Papakura Family Service Centre, located at 14 Maurice Street in New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to supporting children, young people, and families on their journey towards brighter futures.

At the Great Potentials Foundation, our mission is to provide assistance and resources to help children, young people, and families thrive. One of our flagship programs is HIPPY (Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters), which is a home-based early education program designed to empower parents in supporting their 2-5-year-old children in lifelong learning. Through HIPPY, parents receive the tools and guidance they need to become active participants in their child's education.

Another program we offer is MATES (Mentoring and Tutoring Education Scheme), which specifically addresses the underachievement in education of disadvantaged youth at Year 8 and Year 13 in New Zealand. Through one-on-one mentoring and tutoring, we strive to provide these students with the support and resources they need to succeed academically and reach their full potential.

Our Family Service Centres in Papakura and Takanini serve as true community hubs, offering a range of integrated health, education, and social services to the residents of these high-needs communities. We understand the importance of providing comprehensive support to individuals and families, and our dedicated team of professionals is here to assist with any challenges or concerns you may have.

The Great Potentials Foundation is a Registered Charitable Trust with approved donee status (CC32333), ensuring that your contributions and support directly benefit those in need. We are grateful for the generosity and support of our community, as it allows us to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, young people, and families.

If you are looking for a place that values education, community, and empowerment, we invite you to visit the Papakura Family Service Centre. Together, let's create brighter futures for all.
