Welcome to our new 2014-15 year. What a start !!!!!!

Class at Halfway Bush on PhotoPeach
Well there is no denying that the grapevine is still strong in Dunedin.


Word has got out that we have secured the funding for another 100 families for this financial year and my phone has rung off the hook.


So for those who may still not know our current classes here is a run down of the classes for the remainder of 2014.


We have three classes running at Carisbrook School. These are on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6-8.30 pm. They are tutored by Liz and Tony.


There is a Monday evening class at Pinehill from 6-8.30pm and this is tutored by Rebecca.


There is a day class at Halfway Bush on a Wednesday from 9.30-12 noon. All of these classes are now full or over flowing.


We will be starting another class at Brockville next week and the day and time is still to be decided. This class does have a couple of places still available. If you are interested just contact the school office.


We have two Stepping UP classes running. One at Carisbrook on Thursday from 6pm and the other at Brockville on a Friday morning starting at 9.30 am. We also have some ready to start KiwiSkills. So if you're one of them keep your eyes and ears peeled. In the meantime check out a couple of photos  of our starting classes.

Final Graduation for 2013-14

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this graduation but was happy to leave it to the capable team to hold. I managed to catch up with all except a couple of the participants during the final weeks of classes to arrange their Internet Connections and complete their surveys. All seemed eager to get their hands on their machines once graduated. I heard more then once however how quickly they felt the eight weeks of training had passed. This was made evident by the big number wanting to take advantage of the following terms Stepping UP classes at both Carisbrook and Brockville Schools. So I can't really comment on the graduation, apart from saying it has all been very positive feedback. So I hope you enjoy looking through the photos as much as I did. Finally keep your eyes glued here. Funding has been secured for our 2014-15 year and classes will be starting again in a couple of weeks. Final Graduation for 2013-14 on PhotoPeach
