Six more families trotted home with their computers last Friday after completing their 20 hours of training at Newfield School.  Under the superb tutoring from Nathan Iveson these families are now hooking up to 2degrees to get Internet into their homes.  Many thanks and congratulations to you all for your dedication to the programme.

Fabulous Graduation at Newfield School

What a Fabulous Friday Afternoon Celebration!
10 families graduated from Newfield School under the watchful eye of Nathan Ineson.  They were a fantastic group of learners who were keen to learn!  Some even learnt how to make balls using tutorials on You tube.  Principal Sonya Creedy spoke very positively of the programme and the wonderful stories that had been shared during the trainings.
Many smiling little faces left with their Mums to go home and set up their computers!
