Have a look at the programme and see what you think. And I'd be hugely grateful if you could share it with other home-schoolers on the coast. I know some schools are thinking of bringing a few senior students.
Hope you like what you see and can come!
Any questions let me know.

Hello!
The Community Conservation Symposium, to be presented by the West Coast Penguin Trust, will be held at Shantytown on Thursday 14th June with field trips to local community conservation projects on Friday 15th June and we're hoping you will join us!
Our objective is to support you - community groups and individuals involved in conservation on the West Coast, those hoping to become involved and those with an interest in our natural environment - to learn from experts in their fields, from professionals, scientists and practitioners, and through networking – with experts and with each other.
A packed day of presentations at Shantytown will include a broad range of topics from predator control to fundraising and forest ecology to trust governance. Networking opportunities will be extended through a winter dinner social immediately afterwards, generously sponsored by DOC here on the Coast.
Optional field trips are available the following day and will include Cobden restoration together with a trapping workshop, the kiwi crèche at Moonlight, and a variety of projects up the Coast Road.
The full programme is available here: Community Conservation Symposium 14-15 June 2018 Programme
Register at http://www.bluepenguin.org.nz/

Students pay just $25 for the main day, and field trips are half price for students.
Please share this with anyone you think may be interested, please make the most of this unique opportunity and we hope to see you there!
Warm regards
Inger

Shantytown Day for Older Students
Hi there folks,
You should already be aware of this visit. Due to family commitments, Hanlie has passed on the organsation for this to Lara Priestly.
Please be aware, this is for older students only.
Date: June 22nd
Time: 10am-2pm; please arrive at 9.30am
Cost: $3 per child cash
Student Age: 12 and up
They will be learning about Matariki; however they will go easy on the legends as there are a number of Christian families this may not sit well with.

Warm regards
