This Blog is created to keep the Waikato, New Zealand, Christian Home Educators (WaiCHE) up to date with the latest information regarding our events. We were previously known as Hamilton West Christian Homeschoolers, but due to our changing location and thereby attracting more home educators from all around Hamilton, we decided to change our name.

Decoupage There will be an additional charge of $3 for materials. Suggestions of wooden items, e.g. small lidded boxes, trinket bowls, mug trees (for jewellery), could be a shoe box or other cardboard item. We'll probably do small canvas blocks first week to give people a practice and a chance to find their own item after being inspired!! :-) Computer Programming Jan Kaluza will be presenting an introductory class on computer programming this term at Karakariki. Class size is limited to 5 per session and ages 12 and up. We will be learning about 'Guido van Robot', preparing the way to programming in the Python language which is quite popular in the market. To cover costs there will be a $5 charge per child for the term for printed and other materials. If you have a spare laptop that runs Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer, it will help to bring that to class. Otherwise, just a small USB stick that is cleared of any files please. The exercises can be done on paper if needs be, but access to a computer at home is a definite advantage as some of the lessons will be homework for the next session. Adventure Sports Kayaking will involve getting wet and needing to bring a towel, change of clothes etc. The weeks we do shooting & archery at KCC, may be no extra charge if we can supervise these activities instead of Mike. As with Team Building using the confidence course, If we can provide the supervisors then he will tell us how to do it & we won’t have to pay extra. Habitat for Humanity Nic Greene, Naomi’s husband has offered to do a session or two about Habitat for Humanity. They have a youth section in this organisation. ou can also have a look at their website: http://www.habitat.org.nz/ . Great for encouraging our children to look beyond themselves!!! All sessions will be activity based with a little bit of instruction but mostly learning through doing. There will be sessions on
