When I first began in my role as Regional Co-ordinator, I met Principal David Hain and his PA Ngaire Olley. Little did I know then that this school would have some of the highest outcomes of CiH in Northland. From the very beginning, David and Ngaire have been strong advocates of our programme. They attend every Steering Group meeting, adding their years of educational experience to the mix, then they go back to their school and make sure their community benefits from the programme. Ngaire has a constant waiting list, being a Decile 2 school means many families haven't been able to buy a computer for their kids. That's OK though, that's were CiH step in and this process has been working well for over two years. They have now graduated just under 40 families and once funding has been confirmed, may well start another group in Term 1 or 2 of 2012. Thanks again Ngaire, you're such a pleasure to deal with and an awesome support person for me.
