Introducing Shona Te Huki

It's my pleasure to introduce Shona Te Huki as the newly appointed CIH Coordinator for the Manawatu Horowhenua region.

Shona Te Huki

I am moving to Blenheim at the end of this month and unfortunately this means I have to leave my regional coordinator position. It has been an awesome 2 years in the region and I have been very lucky to have met some wonderful people along the way.

This is a very special job in so many ways as we get to empower the families and communities we work with. I am sure Shona will thoroughly enjoy the role and you will all give her as much support as you have given me.

I will be staying with 2020 Communications Trust in a KiwiSkills ICDL role, so will still be in the team and continuing to focus on increasing digital literacy across Aotearoa.

To all the graduates of the programme - kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui (be strong, be brave, be steadfast)! It's been awesome to work with you all, keep learning and supporting your tamariki :)

Foxton Primary School Celebrates Graduates

Foxton School celebrated the graduation of 15 families from the Computers in Home programme in December 2013. They are the first families in Foxton to go through the programme.

To mark the occasion Foxton Community Board member Amanda Street attended the Christmas end-of-year celebration, congratulating each parent with a certificate of completion.

Well done everyone! Thanks to the Computers in Homes champions Tina McLean (Principal) and Anthea Whitely (Trainer) who encouraged and supported these parents through the programme.
