Its all go for 2016

The Southern TEAM of Computers in Homes has been very busy with three different locations for training being held.
St Josephs in Invercargill held their graduation last Friday 13th with certificates being presented as part of the full school assembly.  The children were very proud of their parents getting up to accept their certificates. 

A group are currently training in Gore on Thursdays at REAP House.
Two classes are also running at New River in Invercargill on Mondays .. with 17 families in total for the school being part of the programme.
Many thanks to our tutor/technician Nathan Iveson who does an awesome job working with these families on the programme.

Fabulous Graduation at Newfield School

What a Fabulous Friday Afternoon Celebration!

10 families graduated from Newfield School under the watchful eye of Nathan Ineson.  They were a fantastic group of learners who were keen to learn!  Some even learnt how to make balls using tutorials on You tube.  Principal Sonya Creedy spoke very positively of the programme and the wonderful stories that had been shared during the trainings.
Many smiling little faces left with their Mums to go home and set up their computers!
