Halfway Bush Brave the Cold to Graduate

These three classes seemed to have braved all the elements to complete their training. It all started on a lovely sunny evening when we held our Parent info night. It then started getting dark earlier, then the heavens opened up and it flooded Dunedin wide, then if that wasn't enough it started snowing during a week of classes, to the point that poor Rebecca (tutor) thought she was going to be permanently stranded in Halfway Bush. Still all participants arrived and worked through their hours of training. They even came by the van load, with someone kind person from the Kohunga doing the rounds of South Dunedin to collect participants. As if that wasn't enough graduation night rolled round to a night of bitterly cold gale force winds. Check out the photos though. These hardy southerners turned up with their families and their pleasure and excitement was evident on all their faces. If you can see them through the layers of clothing and jackets. Well done to you all. It was great seeing this school and kohunga work together to make the project work for them. Hope to get back and run a couple more classes.
