Makin' It Happen In Manurewa!


Our project in Manurewa South School kicked off on a beautiful Saturday morning in October.  We will be training 'hard out' until the Graduation in November in 3 weeks time.

One of the awesome features of this school, is the Parents Hub.  A pod of computers was set up in this room  that is indeed, a hub for the whanau to collect and work on projects that engage school and community.  Its location in the school is perfect - it is the former staffroom and has wonderful views of the fields and class areas.  The tamariki can also wander past and see their parents at work and at study.

What a wonderful place to train and what an awesome group of parents we have met so far!  Our buddy, Shiloh Aloiai, continues to assist in this project along with trainer Foloki Faiva (back from his sunbathing in Aussie - whether he brought us choccies remains to be seen!).

      We always have a back up plan to complete hours and this is usually by having a catch up session before the graduation. Flaiva will assess the numbers by the end of session 3 and will book a session for everyone during the week and likely during the earlier part of the day.

      Hope that helps :)

      I am enjoying the sessions I can come in and be part of - Netsafe is a particular priority session with me - I look forward to your research results on antivirus software for your machine.
