We welcome Silverstream School onboard

Well we have ventured into another school in Mosgiel. Silverstream School held their first parent Info / Registration meeting on Wednesday 18th February. There was a good turn out of families with further registering an interest in taking part this term. We have a definite two classes running this intake. Starting Week 5 (2 March) we will be holding classes on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6-8.30pm and another class scheduled to start on Monday 3.30-6pm if we have the numbers. One of the big questions asked was if we could include grand parents. All families have been assured that we are happy to see this happen and Principal Libby Cleverly indicated the school would be happy for this to happen. So we are expecting these spaces to fill up quickly over the next 10 days. Thanks to Tony (our technician) the POD was installed last week in preparation. Families were taken over to see the space provided and get their bearings before they start. Thanks to Silverstream community. You were all very welcoming and we are hoping for a lengthy relationship here.

2015 Starts with Huge Numbers

Well 2015 is well underway for us in Dunedin. We are currently installing a new POD of machines at Silverstream School in Mosgiel this coming weekend. A parent info evening and registrations will be held at the school staffroom next Wednesday 18th February at 6pm. Classes will begin during the following week. We already have a waiting list of 12 families from the end of 2014 and are looking to add another 18 families. This will give us evening classes at Mosgiel running on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6-8.30pm. We also held a family info and registration evening at Carisbrook School where families from Dunedin city area had the chance to come onboard. we have a huge waiting list here but were able to take on board another 30 families for training starting next week. These classes will run on Monday & Tuesday evening 6-8.30pm and Friday 3.30-6pm. These families are taking part in a new pilot scheme for 2020 during the start of 2015. At graduation time they will have the opportunity to select either a desktop or laptop as their preference for hardware.This will give us a total 112 families for the 2014-15 year. We also had 2 enrollments from The Correspondence School, who are now looking at doing their modules online. Thanks to those families who travelled for 3 hours (round trip) to be included. Check out a class of likely prospects at Carisbrook.
