Whānau Ara Mua - A new learning opportunity for local parents.

Local families now have a chance to get skills and a pathway to study or work, while also helping their children learn. 

Whānau Ara Mua has started at Wesley Intermediate – the course runs three days a week during school terms.  

Adults gain a L2 NZQA qualification while they learn English, improve computing skills, do a course on money management and learn about family health and wellbeing.  They also gain understanding on how children learn, and develop skills to help their children read, do maths and support them with their homework.    

This is a life-changing course for whole families, tell the families you work with about it.
