A number of schools have expressed an interest in the Uni-on-Wheels project for Term Four this year and this has kept Elaine very busy.   If you think the workshops might be of interest to your school then now is the time to point them in the direction of the website (www.universityonwheels.org) so all the details of what's on offer can be checked out without delay!

We have certainly been busy answering queries regarding this project. The pilot programmes will be launched in July at both Summerland School in Henderson and Puni School in Pukekohe and we are all waiting eagerly to assess how they will be received! 

In the interim Elaine le Sueur is willing to discuss the needs of your students with you. She is available at 09 239 2852 and 027 825 121 and for general administration queries ring Jean Hendy-Harris at 09 585 0111 and 021 389 448. 

A number of people have asked about the possibility of providing a service outside of the greater Auckland area and we are considering the viability of this.   As we are a registered Charitable Trust and therefore non-profit making, we would welcome any ideas regarding the access of funding in order to keep our charges as low as possible.

UNI-ON-WHEELS is moving westwards...and will be in Summerland School, Henderson in Term III.  Don't forget to check out the latest news on this venture by going to www.universityonwheels.org

Uni-on-Wheels is now up and very nearly running!

If you want to see what it might have to offer you and your school, go to www.universityonwheels.org for a quick browse. Elaine has been working especially hard liaising with schools in the Franklin area and we will be visiting PUNI SCHOOL in Pukekohe weekly during Term 3 delivering a range of high interest workshops.   And the good news is that this opportunity is not simply restricted to the students of Puni School because very soon all schools in the immediate area will receive information detailing how they can take part.

Don't miss out!

WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY ON WHEELS?

The UOW is simply a way of taking our long established Achieving Potential holiday program into schools during term time.  We will visit your school on a regular basis on days to be negotiated with your Principal, bringing a range of quality workshops presented by tutors with wide experience of working with gifted and talented students.  On days when the UOW is in your school, your child will attend our lectures and workshops instead of ordinary classes.Some schools may elect to act as a host school and open up the opportunity to others in the area in order to maintain a stable group of participating students.

WHO PAYS?   

Families of the students involved will pay. 

WHO CAN ATTEND?

This opportunity will suit a range of differing students.

HIGH FLYERS:  those high achieving students who already perform at the top of their age group and crave extra extension......

RISING STARS:  students with drive and ambition to excel who consistently push themselves to achieve their aims......

CREATIVE THINKERS:  those who are both imaginative and creative, innovative and ingenious.....

TALL POPPIES:   original thinkers with unusual ideas who are clearly not quite on the same wave length as their age peers......

ODD BODS:    those who don't quite fit in and consistently display thinking that verges outside the confines of the square .....

WHERE CAN I FIND OUT MORE?

Keep watching this space.   Elaine le Sueur and Jean Hendy-Harris are currently in negotiation with a number of schools and we will be bringing you updates just as soon as we are able!
