Our Centre


In 1998 a group of Southland parents who were travelling to Dunedin for Conductive Education, successfully established The Conductive Education (Southland) Charitable Trust to provide Conductive Education programmes for pre-school & school age children with Motor Disorders.

The group with the help of grants, donations and fundraising were able to financially secure their future with the help of Focus Ltd an Auckland Company who bought, along with their administration abilities the first Hungarian Conductor to Southland.

2005 March - Focus 2000 Ltd who had been running our Centre and providing Conductors discontinued their service and Centre in Invercargill. During this time the centre was run by two Hungarian Conductors and one Assistant/Administrator.

2005 April, motivated parents of Conductive Education children set about recruiting profile business-people to assist them re-group and re-form Our Centre, Our Way, at Invercargill.

The current role of the centre is 47 children; these children come from all over Otago and Southland, with many of our families traveling long distances to regularly attend classes.

2005 July and November Our Centre, Our Way bought over from Melbourne Australia a Peto Institute (Hungary) Conductor (Ms Ildiko Runic) to work at Our Centre.

2005 November, Peto Institute Conductor Arpi Czegeni arrives at Our Centre.

2006 January, Birmingham (UK) trained Conductor Katy Read arrives at Our Centre.
