DVD Presentation and Thank You
On the evening of Thursday 21 February e-learning Porirua held a DVD presentation of the Step Up DVD. This event was also a 'thank you' to those who had been interviewed for the filming of this DVD. It was wonderful to see the Burmese family, Marshall Solomon and Faye Oliver, and be able to thank them for sharing their stories on camera. Thank you too to Barbara Craig from 2020 Communications Trust for presenting the DVDs.
Course 50 Starts
Course 50 started on 5 February
It is wonderful to see the enthusiasm with a new group of students. Nearly everyone is nervous to start with, but very quickly they realise they can do it and that we are all there to help each other learn. Students are already commenting on how much they have learned and how they can't wait to learn more next week! As a teacher it is a privilege to be part of such a positive learning environment. I look forward to the graduation on Wednesday 10 April when we will really celebrate student achievement.

Rejuvenations
A Year on From Graduation
A year after graduation we need to check your computer is still working well, so we carry out a free warrant of fitness. At the same time we like to do a survey online so you can tell us about the good things you and your children have used the computer to help with. This process is known as 'rejuvenation'. It's great to hear all the wonderful stories about what people have gone on to do and help you keep your computer running smoothly- and it's free!
Over the next three weeks we will be trying to contact graduates from 2011 who have yet to respond to our phone calls or emails, to carry out the rejuvenation process.
Here the Porirua e-Learning Rejuvenation Team (John and Michael) are racing to another rejuvenation mission!

Graduation - Course 48
Wednesday 12 December - 35 Graduate
"What a Christmas present for the family! A computer and six months of free internet." Each graduate was very keen to get their computer home for their families. Many students spoke of learning so much and now having real confidence to keep learning. This is the real blessing of Computers in Homes. Thank you to Karen Bain, manager of WINZ Porirua, for presenting the certificates. Congratulations to all our graduates - we wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
