Please reply to Lauretta Duinkerke

Now that we've moved down here, I want to start a food-cooperative with an organic food company so that we can get organic food at trade prices. There are a few conditions to meet, one of which is a minimum monthly order so I need a few other people to join me on this, to make the food co-op work. Do you know anyone who would be interested in joining an organic food co-op? 

Kind regards,

Lauretta

Fwd: Vision and Hearing Service

Good morning,

 

I am Naomi Riley the new Vision and Hearing Technician, from Greymouth Hospital.

 

I was wondering if anybody would like to take advantage of our free vision and hearing screening.

 

This is available to all school aged children enrolled with a schooling provider.

 

If there are many people keen to use this service I could set up a clinic at the hospital, or complete home visits for families.

 

Let me know how you would like to use this service.

 

Kind regards, Naomi Riley

Time: 1pm

Venue: 32b Providence Drive

Bring:

Shantytown Trip

HomeSchool NZ Visit to your area

Dear Homeschool Family,

 

Each year we endeavour to get around the country and catch up with as many families as possible. We do this by holding get-togethers in key locations within a certain area. Obviously, we cannot visit every single small town, but with very few exceptions, we do hope to be somewhere this year that is no more than 30-40 minutes away from your home (and hopefully closer).

 

These get-togethers are very useful for a bunch of reasons:  they keep folk up to date with the latest news and developments, families meet other homeschooling families in their area and develop networking relationships, all sorts of questions get answered, older students get to hear and ask questions about potential career pathways and we all get to put faces to names. For new families, these meetings also serve as the "face-to-face" training meeting mentioned in your enrolment material.

 

Significantly too, the Ministry of Education knows that we do this "in-service training", and it is one of the reasons for the confidence they have in HSNZ and why they view and treat us as a respected part of the educational establishment.

 

It is a substantial logistical operation getting travel schedules organised and we do need people to work with us in this. It is also costly, and so it is disappointing when we get to an area that is within easy reach of numerous families only to find that hardly anyone turns up.

 

Please……wherever humanly possible, do make the effort.

Westland Riding for the Disabled

Hi folks!

I trust your first term has gone well.

I am writing on behalf of the Westland Riding for the Disabled (RDA).  They are desperate for volunteers.  Volunteers help with horses and riders.  They need to be over 14 yearls old and physically capable.  Volunteer times are flexible.  RDA Westland is open from 10am to 5.30pm Monday to Thursday.

This is a great opportunity for helping in the community and getting some horse experience.

Westland RDA is on Facebook or you can contact Sue 0273037912 or Jane 03 755 8069 or 02102718810
