Cake Decorating Workshop

Hi there!

We are going to plan a cake decorating workshop.  It will be a Thursday or Friday towards the end of June or beginning of July.

Participants will need to bring a cake and possibly a packet of appropriate icing.  There will be a small fee to cover equipment and consumables supplied by the lady taking the workshop.

We can give further details later, but for now, we would like expressions of interest and preferred days.

Further ideas are to donate the cakes to a fundraiser or have a shared meal on the Friday with cake for dessert.  Any suggestions?

Happy Homeschooling!

Kim

Exciting news from Canterbury University for Home Educators Posted: 16 May 2016 05:53 PM PDT Great news from Canterbury University Home-school Student Award Hi,  I'd like to bring to your attention some recent work we have been doing at the University of Canterbury clarifying progression to university for home-school students. There are several pathways for home-school students to gain admission to UC for degree level study, which are outlined on a new web page we have created. Also for the first time UC Arts is offering a College Award especially for home-school students, which is tied to one of those pathways.  UC Arts is offering home-schooled students the opportunity to receive a College Award of $3000 towards fees in their first year of full time study in a BA, MusB, or BFA.  Please contact us if you would like to discuss ways that we can promote this offer to home-school students through your networks, or if you have questions about the College Award or the STAR programme. For any enquiries about Special Admission or the STAR Programme please contact: Franka Menzies, Academic Processes Co-ordinator  franka.menzies@canterbury.ac.nz For any enquiries about the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music or the UC Arts Home-School College Awards contact: College of Arts Student Advisors  artsdegreeadvice@canterbury.ac.nz  Regards Tim Winfield Marketing and Outreach Coordinator College of Arts, University of Canterbury Private Bag 4800, Christchurch 8140, New Zealand Tel: +64 3 364 2987 ext 6756, Room 409, Karl Popper Building (view map) www.arts.canterbury.ac.nz FollowUC Arts:

The End of year Homeschool Break up

Fwd: Summer Reading Challenge: Andy Wright's visit; Wednesday 9th December, 2015

Hello All,

I trust that this finds you well.

This is just to double-confirm the details for Wednesday 9th
December and the Summer Reading Challenge.




9.00am

Kaniere School

Kaniere School + Home Schooled Children(Double classroom)



Andy, Courtney Watson and I hope to arrive to schools at
least 5 minutes in advance of our allotted time.  The
schedule is quite tight, so can we gently ask that everyone
be assembled and ready for us please?  If you have any
difficulty with this, please just let me know.  We would
that a clear space at the top of the group be left clear for
us.

We will start with an introduction to Andy, Courtney and
myself.  This will be followed by an overview of library
services to children and young people and the Summer Reading
Challenge.  Finally, the bit everyone will be waiting
for....... Andy will take over and the mantle of the story
spellbound will be woven over us all.

The session will last approximately an hour in total.

I'm really looking forward to it - I hope that you are too!

Should you have any questions or queries please just let me
know.

Kind wishes,
Maire
