It has been five years since Otangarei has been involved in CiH. During this time, digital education needs have increased tenfold and Myles is keenly aware of this. A number of meetings and communications later and the CiH programme was up and running. Trainer Hone Tate took the classes and the families involved raved about his training style. This could have something to do with the fact that he's a third year trainee teacher, but also because he's such a likeable man who puts his community needs first. Thank you Hone for your time and dedication to your school community, your kura is very lucky indeed to have you.
Many thanks must also go to the Board of Trustees who worked hard to ensure their families participated, and to Bronwyn Panoho in the kura's administration office. The team at Te Kura o Otangarei did their community proud and you were a pleasure to deal with throughout the period our programme ran.
Here are some pictures of our graduation day 13 June 2014. On that day six of the 16 families were actually connected and online by the afternoon. A HUGE thanks must go to Paul Batchelder's team at UIT for making that happen. Sometimes having an amazing technician network can go a long way in helping our CiH families, no to mention taking the workload and stress away from the Regional Coordinator!
