Haden piece appalling
Letter to the Editor
by Sally Goldsworthy, Christchurch
I was appalled to
read in the Peter Ellis article (June 22) that the Portobelo Pre-School which
has replaced the Christchurch City Creche still has the same illustrious
environment, according to Frank Haden.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It is a warm, friendly, safe and
happy centre run by caring and dedicated staff. The programme is stimulating
and very successful.
I found what was written about the pre-school irresponsible and I'm horrified
what damage three little words can do. After the damning piece about feminist
lesbian support and being strong on Maori activism etc, it said "It
still is".
Nothing could be further from the truth and I don't believe Mr Haden could
have gone in to the pre-school. He probably just stood in the foyer of the
big building, which has nothing to do with the pre-school. An apology is due
to the Portobelo
Pre-School, which is an
outstanding centre.
