Adult and Community
Education Courses at
Papanui High School
With winter upon us make the most
of the longer evenings by coming along
to Papanui High School and joining
one of our exciting range of Adult and
Community Education Courses for Term
3 which begin from Monday 24 July . It
is the ideal way to begin a new hobby,
gain new skills and confidence, meet new
people, keep mentally active or follow
a particular passion. There are a wide
range of courses available and the rewards
from getting together with a group of
likeminded people to learn something
new are very beneficial.
We are offering a range of Photography
Courses this term all taught by John
Foster who is a full-time professional
photographer/educator. On a Monday
night we have a Beginners Photography
Course designed for DSLR, Mirrorless and
Compact Cameras. This course will give
you an insight into how the camera works
and will cover basic camera controls and
handling. For those students who are
wanting to further their skills we have a
Beyond Beginners Course on a Tuesday
night starting rom 25 July. This course is
suitable for experienced amateurs wanting
to expand their knowledge. We are also
offering a Night Photography Course
which will cover equipment, techniques,
how to focus at night, using flash at night
and much more.
In addition to these courses we are
still offering our traditional Cooking
classes, Language classes, Pilates, Yoga,
Dressmaking, Ukulele and Guitar, Special
Effects Makeup, English for Speakers of
other Languages, Woodwork and many
more.

Discover emerging
artists at the WEA
Art Show
The CWEA is excited to invite you
to this week-long ART SHOW. The art
on display at 59 Gloucester Street will
represent a variety of styles, subject matter
and technique. Situated across from
Christchurch’s Art Gallery and close to
Matariki events at Turanga, pop in and
enjoy the show. Open 10am to 4pm daily
from Friday 14 July until Thursday 20 July,
free entry.
From a garage art collective whose
practice has been honed by WEA study
with Linda Hart and Nina Cook, Jeanne,
Mike and Kaye were the catalyst for this
collaborative Art Show at WEA. For
some participants this show marks the
courageous step to show their work
beyond family and friends for the first
time. For others it is another opportunity
to show work alongside fellow students
and their tutors. Most of the work will
be for sale and those who seek to acquire
an original work of art should definitely
schedule a visit in the early stages of the
show (with collection to be arranged after
the show concludes).
The CWEA is a charity, offering
affordable adult and community education
courses in the heart of the city, visit
www.cwea.org.nz to find out more.
If courses in arts and crafts, music,
movement, current issues or philosophy
appeal to you, collect a brochure while
visiting, or talk to those minding the
show about enrolling in Term 3 that
begins on Monday 24 July.
