Blenheim Whanau Hui

A new project! Our first Computers in Homes for Blenheim in beautiful Marlborough was launched on 13 November 2012. 17 keen and committed parents registered, with more sending forms in the next day, so it looks like we will not have any trouble in filling our allocation of 25 families. Training will begin early in 1st Term 2013 and the families chosen span 7 schools, with a focus on shared families and Pasifika student achievement. New Whanganui Coordinator Tania Van der Vegte came along to see how we work with schools and provided valuable assistance to parents in understanding the details of CIH. Special thanks to Andrew Read, Principal of Bohally Intermediate for offering to host the training for all families. Valuable support has been provided by Dina Ahradsen Principal of Blenheim School and Karen Stewart Principal of Marlborough Girls’ College. We already have our fantastic tutor Cathy-Ann Scoon and awesome tech Carmen Wilson, both of Bohally. Families are from Bohally, Blenheim, Marlborough Girls’, Marlborough Boys’, St Mary’s, Springlands and Mayfield.
Looking forward to getting straight into it in Week 3 next term everyone.
