Dunedin Computers in Homes will launch as a part of national projects on 10th October at Forbury School. This project ensures ongoing government funding for delivery of the programme to schools in Dunedin that fit into its parameters. This year will see 20 families partcipating at Forbury School and another 20 families at Brockville School. Both will graduate on 9th December at a joint celebration.
There have been several schools over the programmes last ten years who have participated on a small scale. When the Principal of Forbury School, Janice Tofia, made an enquiry into their chances of joining in and were given a small number to deliver at their school, a real need was identified for the programme to launched over Dunedin schools in general. Thanks for this must go to Janice herself, Liz & Tony Hayward, and Matt Broad who all played a part in getting Computers in Homes to Dunedin. A meeting has been held of the Dunedin Steering Group, who will help the new local co-ordinator Janine Moore in the direction the project will take.This blogspot will be used to allow all interested people to track the progress and success of the programme. So I hope that you will take the time to browse through it every so often. You never know whos photo you may come across.
