HELP YOUR CHILD GROW<br />
- IN CONFIDENCE<br />
Life skills programme for children.<br />
Widely recognised trades training<br />
The Southern Institute of<br />
Technology Christchurch campus<br />
in Hornby offers a great range of<br />
education possibilities for those<br />
looking for a trade’s qualification.<br />
If you are keen on getting involved<br />
in Construction, we offer the National<br />
Certificate in Building, Construction and<br />
Allied Trades Skills, a 12 week, Level 2<br />
programme. This programme provides a<br />
pathway for students to enter into a range<br />
of trade-related professions and its main<br />
focus is teaching them the practical skills<br />
they require for further study.<br />
We also offer the Level 3 Certificate<br />
in Construction, where students spend<br />
three days on campus and two days out in<br />
the community on work experience. All<br />
students are involved in building a house<br />
from scratch, ensuring sound practical<br />
skills in conjunction with classroom<br />
learning.<br />
Our programmes are widely recognized<br />
within related industries and SIT has a<br />
proven record of students moving into<br />
employment or apprenticeships.<br />
Courses are NZQA approved and<br />
students are eligible for student loans and<br />
allowances.<br />
Spaces for midyear <strong>2016</strong> are filling fast<br />
and demand for affordable trades training<br />
is high.<br />

Do your children lack selfconfidence,<br />
or perhaps have<br />
so much energy that they need<br />
an outlet for it? Development<br />
through drama is the ideal approach to<br />
teach confidence and channel youthful<br />
energy while building self-esteem.<br />
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has<br />
been in New Zealand for 32 years. This<br />
highly regarded worldwide programme<br />
helps students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their<br />
potential by acting confidently and speaking<br />
clearly. This unique, self-development<br />
programme helps achieve invaluable life<br />
skills. The confident, articulate child makes<br />
friends easily, accepts challenges and new<br />
directions. Confident children become<br />
well-rounded adults.<br />
Our fully qualified teachers are trained<br />
in the Helen O’Grady Drama system,<br />
they ensure each child is encouraged<br />
and valued in a warm, positive learning<br />
environment. Lessons stimulate and<br />
motivate students without the exam or<br />
peer group pressure. Weekly class activities<br />
include speech training, creative movement<br />
and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre<br />
programme encourages the development<br />
of leadership and organisational skills.<br />
Three terms of the year cover the selfdevelopment<br />
programme and in the fourth<br />
term all students prepare a performance<br />
for parents and friends. We also offer<br />
Trinity College London examinations as<br />
an option for those who wish to pursue an<br />
international qualification.<br />
Our safe structured learning environment<br />
values student individuality and<br />
encourages team<br />
building. Most<br />
importantly its<br />
Piano<br />
great fun too! Raewyn Clegg<br />
