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 $2 charge per child per meeting 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   Please note: choosing the Adventure Sports, will take both sessions.

We hope to go caving at least twice in the term, maybe 3 times depending on what people want.

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. We pay extra for the caving expeditions. Kayaking he is ‘Throwing in’ for us!  We will not be able to go caving in Term 3 as access is withdrawn then.
