PLANS FOR 2014-2015








I have been working a lot in the Hutt Valley schools and am now venturing into the Wellington CBD
area to provide Computers in Homes in the schools.

The first school on my list is the lovely Newtown School.

Newtown School were one of the first Computers in Homes school around 10 years ago.  When speaking to the new principal Mark Brown and other staff members, the children who attend the school back then now have children of their own that attend Newtown School.
There are also teachers who were apart of the school with the first Computers in Homes intake are still teaching at the school today.

The school is now going through a revamp in buildings, so we look forward to working with Newtown School in term 1 of the 2015 school year.

I am also looking at other schools in Wellington such as Kahurangi School and Holy Cross, but have yet to set dates as to when Computers in Homes can begin.



 
Hutt Schools I would also like to work with in this project year from the Hutt are Wainuiomata College and St Bernards College.
 



Epuni School 2014


Well Done Epuni School

Gathering numbers for this school was a bit of a struggle, but we got there in the end!! Well Done to the 9 families who graduated with their 20 hours of Digitial Literacy through Computers in Homes and a refurbished desktop to take home for you and your whanau.

Congratulations Maoribank School

Maoribank School were the first Upper Hutt School to participate in the Computers in Homes programme.
The school were worried they would not fill their quota of 15 places and thought they would barely fill 10 places as the school's roll wasn't the biggest.
But with commitment, belief and dedication to the programme the school managed to have 14 parents graduate with 1 partner attending so he had knowledge about what his children would be doing on the internet.

This was a great successful programme and I wish the parents all the best for theirs and their children's future.
