Community college co ordinates meet

Rural Education Coordinators for Wanganui Regional Community Polytechnic (WRCP) gathered last week to share ideas and plans. Heads of the different schools within the Polytechnic each spoke to the assembled coordinators about the courses that WRCP can offer its rural students. Topics discussed included farm forestry seminars, welding courses, graphic design, a travelling computer bus, cocktail making and wine service. Coordinators were encouraged to take away the details on courses they felt would be successful in their own areas. There was also a presentation by Cynthia Takarangi, WRCP coordinator for The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand. TOPNZ offers over 700 correspondence courses. Rural coordinaShop day

Over $700 was raised at the Crippled Children Society's shop day held last Thursday. The committee thanked the people who donated goods to sell and to the people who supported the day. Raffles were won by the Butler family (1st prize) second prize: "The kids" third prize: Peter Perkins.

tors are often the first point of contact for adults wanting to further their education so they appreciated the chance to find out more about distance learning. Off Campus Coordinator Jane Barton organised the meeting as part of the training for the people promoting and administrating WRCP courses in the wider Wanganui Region.
