Our History 


The Te Kauwhata Community House began life as The Te Kauwhata and Districts Information and Support Centre (D.I.S.C).
It was the vision of locals Jean Lawton and Hazel Boldero and with the support of many locals opened its doors in 1996. It was a unique operation having three arms Support Centre, Information Centre and District Library within the Waikato District Council libraries. A 'Toybox' service was initiated in 1999.  The D.I.S.C moved to 1a Waerenga Road in 2006. At our 21st birthday celebrations the D.I.S.C became Te Kauwhata Community House.
D.I.S.C relocation to 1a Waerenga Rd. in 1997
