Kia Ora everyone, What a busy 2nd term we having everything happening with our new schools on board. We now have LAKEVIEW SCHOOL,  MASTERTON PRIMARY,  DOUGLAS PARK, KURA KAUPAPA, CHANEL & MAKOURA COLLEGE, KO TE AROHA, WAHI REKA KOHANGA REO. We run classes from one college and a primary school and the other 2 classes at our training centre. We have two morning classes an afternoon and an evening for our CIH program. Our numbers are looking good at this moment. Would like to welcome Dannevirke  on board for CIH program who will be working beside us here in the Wairarapa.

For our New year once again I would like to welcome on board two new schools for Computers in Homes they are Chanel College and Douglas Park so this will be a pretty busy year.

Well its a New Year again 2014 just a reflect back on our last graduation Term 4 2013 we graduated 6 people. It was held at REAP House we had our students plus a couple of guests our new Mayoress Lyn Patterson plus our MP John Hayes it was awesome our Mayoress spoke then one of our students got up to finish it off. The last NCCG for CIH conference for 2013 was held in Masterton, it was absolutely awesome. We had our dinner at REAP House with entertainment from our Samoan Community. It was lovely then the next day to finish our conference off we surprised them by taking them somewhere. The Wairarapa is well known for a Shearing Shed where we had lunch and also shown how to pick up the wool after the shearer finishes then thrown on a table and shown how to take out the unnecessary bits. Laurence had a go while Di shore a sheep it was really awesome. Now for Term 1 for this year, I have 9 at this moment starting a night class 20th Feb Thursday night from 6.30 - 9pm they all vary....

20th October 2013 Kia ora everyone Term 3 finished on a high even though it was a small class of 5 but that was okay they all graduated which was held at Ko Te Aroha straight after their last class so they all received their computers and certificates now they want to move on to do Stepping Up. We also had Adult Learners week before we finished which 5 of our Stepping Up people received their Stepping Up Certificates for the amount of modules they had done and a special award was given to one of my CIH ladies for the contribution she gave to her own Pacific Island Community by bringing them onboard to do the CIH program which has helped them out in  a lot of ways.  This lovely lady was smiling because she didn't want to look at the tutor taking a photo of her otherwise she was laughing at her picture she was doing. This lovely gentleman was quite pleased in what he had learnt through doing the CIH program he is receiving his Certificate from Peter Mcn...

This is our end of Term 2 everything went really well. 2 Graduations one at Lakeview where we had 16 and the other one at our new School MPS (Masterton Primary School) where we had 10, so 25 received computers along with their USB's and Parent Packs and also I have had 16 sign up for the internet majority of them all on on Naked Broadband. Our Stepping up program is also going well. We have put through 2 people for Adult Learners Award which also they will receive their Stepping Up Certificate. 2 people have done 11 Digital Steps which is cool considering one of them is a granddad and father didn't know what the heck he was doing he was quite scared by it when he started. Our Tutor Lisa Gray has just done her diagnostics on Kiwi Skills now she just has the Test to do. Way to go Lisa. Stepping Up still going so thats okay for now. By Term 4 hopefully we will have our other 2 new schools on board.

Kia ora away we go again Into TERM 2 we have got good numbers this term so its going to be quite interesting. We have parents from Lakeview (9) Ko Te Aroha (2) Wahi Reka Kohanga Reo (5) also our P I Group (5) and our new school Masterton Primary School (6). All classes are still done at Ko Te Aroha daycare centre. Our classes are Tuesday afternoon 12.30 - 3pm.  Thursday morning  9.30 - 12pm, Thursday evening 6 - 8.30pm , Friday morning 9.30 - 12pm that is not including our Stepping Up Program which is done on Tuesday evening 6 - 8.30pm , Wednesday afternoon 12.30 - 3pm and Thursday afternoon 12.30 - 3pm.

This term has been good for both classes CIH program and Stepping Up. The CIH classes from Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning along with the Stepping Up Program will graduate 18th April @ 6pm Lakeview School Library.We have 10 for CIH and 7 for Stepping Up. This lady is concentrating so hard she does not want to be disturbed As for this gentleman i am unsure what he is doing at this moment It was a go slow at the start didn't think we were going to have a classes for CIH but we did which was very cool. We also visited 2 new schools MPS (Masterton Primary School) and DPS (Douglas Park School) and came out with good results. We are hoping to hear from MPS the first week we start back if not before then. We have have 2 lovely people who are doing themselves really well we have one who is going for her Early Chidhood Certificate and the one has learnt so much that its helping her with  her secretarial work for her Church.     I hope you know what you look...
