2013
Well its that time again for 2013 so bring it on. For Term 1 we have already started our "Stepping Up" program Tuesday evenings 6 - 8.30pm and Thursday afternoon 12.30 - 2.45pm, still at Ko Te Aroha. I have got 16 registered for this program at the moment. At the end of last year I had one lady do 11 modules! We are hoping to start our normal CIH class this term. Our internet connections are working well at this moment we have connected so many people which is really good. Also this year we are visiting 3 new schools - Masterton Primary, Douglas Park and Chanel College not forgetting our existing schools.
Graduation
Term 4 Graduation for the end of 2012 was pretty fantastic if I may say so myself, especially for our CIH graduates. There was 18 graduating and also we had 13 for our Stepping Up program receiving their certificates. One person had completed 11 modules. Also included in our graduation was an English Class which 8 of our CIH graduates took part in. Just also like to mention it was lovely to have our National MP John Hayes and our Mayor Garry Daniell present also. Our entertainment that night was our Thursday evening class our, lovely Dancing Samoans they were beautiful. So next year we already have a big group doing the Stepping Up Program. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Martha
Term 4 Graduation with our Mayor Garry Daniell
We were very pleased to have our Mayor Garry Daniell to present our awards to Oka Lagolago. I am not too sure whether our Mayor was doing a Pukana or was he overwhelmed by Fale Lio doing a haka! Looks like he was very pleased with what took place.
Well we are just about to the end of 2012 I have 2 classes graduating on the 13th December. There will be 18 receiving their certificates and 18 receiving computers plus we will be giving certificates out to our Stepping Up students who have done more than 4 modules. It has been a very challenging Term 4 and I would like to congratulate everyone for being there to do their mahi without me ringing them to see where they are. We have a big challenge ahead for Lisa (tutor) and myself for 2013 when we head out to other schools we are targeting Masterton Primary, Douglas Park School and Chanel College if all goes well. Our Rejuvenation Survey is going well we are on top all the way all 2010 - 2011 all done, on the last for 2011 -2012. These 3 are from the Samoan group of 12 which are on a Thursday night they love having there photo's taken they are supposed to be doing a Computer Puzzle. ...
Term 3 Graduation
Okay its that time of the year again for our Term 3 graduates but also its going to be a special graduation. We have decided to have our graduation with another group called Adult Learners. The reason being its Adult Learners Week so we have bought our graduation forward early to coincide with this group which I think they go hand in hand with one another. It is to be held at Frank Cody Lounge (Masterton Town Hall, Frank Cody Lounge) @ 6pm 20th September 2012. Stepping Up programe is going well with 19 students some have done between 2 - 8 modules which is great as we only do one day a week which it suits a lot of the students. Next term we will be starting a class for our Pacific Islanders and catch up classes for the Nanny Groups that is beside still carrying on with our Stepping Up Classes, our normal Computers in Homes classes will start back after January 2013. The internet connections are slowly getting there, we have had 10 sign up on the new plan which makes it a lot ...
