CPF Round 3 Whangarei is on the way!

Well the waiting has been worth it and CIH Whangarei is a reality thanks to funding received at the end of June! The process of family allocation now begins and ensuring all schools are accounted for and aware of the next step.

A meeting is planned at the Whangarei District Council on 25 August 2009 for the CIH Steering Committee in which more plans will be set in concrete.

Prior to this round there was a school in Whangarei who was participating in CIH - Manaia View School. They had 10 parents graduate on 24 July 2009. The ceremony was awesome and the Mums and Dads were thrilled with their new found skills and PC's to take home. You could feel the pride the children had for their Mums and Dads, and Manaia View School did a wonderful job of the graduation launch. Well done. May there be many good news stories coming out of your school.

This Thursday and Friday a National Computers In Homes Co-ordinating Group has a meeting in Wellington. A great time for all co-ordinators to get together to discuss different aspects of their cluster and a wonderful learning tool for the new Whangarei co-ordinator!

I'll keep you posted! Give a shout for Digital Literacy!
