The Centre's 1952 opening featured verses by James K Baxter, published here for the first time, and the premiere of Hamilton Dickson's operetta The Gypsies.

In 2001 the Centre's imminent demolitian led to further cooperation between the Methodist Church of New Zealand and the Ministry of Education.
