At both the Riccarton Learning Centre and the South Learning Centre the classes were full for the web creation programme run during the school holidays.  The students investigated the use of an online web creation tool at webs.com and created sites based around a personal interest.  As well as gaming sites (always popular) we had sites created about all sorts of interests as diverse as airplanes, care of cats, Heart kids in NZ, family trips, family sports and confessions of a shopaholic!!

One of the programmes on offer during the school holidays was the "digital makeover" programme.  The students used webcams and online photo editors to "makeover" photos of themselves, and to explore the art effects possible using these progammes.  A lot of fun was had by all with some very funny make overs being created. 

What do scavenger hunts, photography, country cowboys and farmers and computers have in common?  They were all part of the Learning Centre's Country Meets Town Kidsfest Mini Fun Day!  Our first holiday programme at the newly opened New Brighton Learning Centre got off to a flying start this July school holidays, with some children dressing up in checked shirts, cowboy hats and gumboots to really get into the theme.
