Dental Nurse and other health services for homeschoolers

Hi folks,

Could you let me know if you are interested in participating in the below?  I would plan on setting up a meeting in the new year to facilitate this.

Also, the dental nurse in Hokitika is running behind because of Covid.  She would usually do the homeschoolers in November, but this will now be happening next year.  She is trying to get through all the children in Year 8 before then, as they will graduate to the dentist next year.  If you have a Year 8 student that has not been contacted by Sue Allen, the dental nurse, and you would like them to see her, please contact Hokitika Primary School.

Have a great year end.

Kim

Kia ora Kim,

 

I've been given your contact details by Gaye Coates who suggested the Home educators network is something we need to reach out to.

 

I'm working with the DHB on a little project trying to listen to our communities to hear what supports they need in order to "Grow up well on the West Coast". We are looking specifically at services we either provide or fund for children in early years (0-5 years) but also beyond that.

 

We want to talk to speak to as many different groups of people/families as possible and we're keen to hear about the experiences of accessing (health services) for home educators on the Coast.

 

Do you have a regular meeting or event coming up that we could come along to over the next month or so that we can ask some questions but more importantly listen to stories from this community? We're keen to come to wherever the community are (across the whole Coast, Karamea to Haast) and wherever they are comfortable to share their stories and it doesn't necessarily need to be during normal business hours.

 

If you could send out some feelers and see if this is something people would be keen to do and then send me some dates/times I would be super grateful

 

Aku mihi nunui,
