Tim Davies-Colley, Regional Coordinator

Previously a teacher and secondary school principal, I am passionate about addressing issues of inequality and injustice.

I believe Computers in Homes is one of the only programmes that helps bridge the learning relationship between home and school, while at the same time, helping to bridge the digital divide.

The Porirua City Community IT Education Trust (PCCITET), more widely known as e-Learning Porirua, was established in 2001.

The Trust aims to help bridge the digital divide (this aim is a catch cry and part of our logo) by training families in computer skills to give them the confidence and tools to gain a job and therefore reduce unemployment, while also improving students achievement levels in the City’s low decile schools.
