This Centre opened in 2004 as the Selwyn College Family Centre. It is an Incorporated Society and a registered Charity. It is now named the Carol White Family Centre, in recognition of the commitment of the former college principal to the provision of early childhood education in association with schools.
The Centre operates in a complex multicultural and social context, and focuses on responding to and providing for its largely refugee migrant community. Most of the children attending the Centre have parents attending the college's REAF (Refugee Education for Adults and Families) programme, which operates in adjacent buildings. Bilingual support staff provide invaluable assistance for teachers as they work with children and their families.
