Success in Southland

We are all go down here in sunny Southland, with training's currently taking place in Winton, Gore and Invercargill. It is great to see a wide variety of families come forward, and be able to take up this opportunity to gain education and enrich lives all around them.

We are currently coordinating training's for Term 1 of next year in schools, and also in communications with a youth organisation in Invercargill, which is opening new doors outside of the schools arena.

Successful business venture from past whanau

The wonderful ladies from Takitimu Primary School in Ohai / Nightcaps had their graduation on Wednesday night. To celebrate we had an authentic hot hangi from one of our past whanau who completed their 10 weeks training, and is now successfully running his own business.

A huge thank you to Hangi Southland for the delicious kai. It is heart-warming to see such success through the Computers In Homes programme.

The planning is now underway for training in Tapanui, Invercargill and further training in Ohai / Nightcaps. With the new team consisting of Amanda Keen and Louise Powell - under Kate McRae's expert guidance. We are all looking forward to the new challenges ahead.

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.

Second Group graduate at Newfield

Six more families trotted home with their computers last Friday after completing their 20 hours of training at Newfield School.  Under the superb tutoring from Nathan Iveson these families are now hooking up to 2degrees to get Internet into their homes.  Many thanks and congratulations to you all for your dedication to 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!
