Fwd: Invitation to the launch of our education resource, 2pm, Friday 28th November

Hello,

The West Coast Penguin Trust has created an education resource with activities for children roughly in the 5-9 years age range and we're about to launch it!  First of all, we'd like to invite you to our launch next Friday at Kaniere School (see invitation attached) and secondly, I'd like to post a copy of the resource to you and to other home school coordinators on the coast and wondered if you could let me have your and other coordinator addresses please.

The resource will also be available on line on our website by next Friday so all home school parents will be able to access it.

If you have any questions, please let me know and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Inger

Ministry of Education seeks feedback

The Ministry of Education has been sending out emails for feed back.

If you wish to reply to this, you can find the information here:

http://www.minedu.govt.nz/Parents/AllAges/EducationInNZ/Homeschooling.aspx

This is a letter asking for clarification, as many homeschoolers are a little confused by the survey:

This is the office's reply to that letter:
