Seaside Sounds
17th Dec 2018
Seaside Sounds was another amazing event for the Youth of Kaikōura. Being so close to Christmas it was a fun end of year event for everyone to come together and celebrate. There was lots of laughter and smiles shared by everyone there. Some of the highlights were the Spiderman obstacle course, the wipe out machine, and of course the foam party inside the igloo.
The Kaikoura Youth Council did a great job at pulling this all together at such a busy time of the year!
Cyanotype Printing

Susie Baker - Fine Art Photography has been running day long workshops at Te Hā, teaching the art of Cyanotype Printing. This is the earliest form of photography, dating back to 1842.
Susie works with small groups to teach them the technical skills needed and encourages them to use their own materials and ideas to create their own prints.
The photos demonstrate part of the technique used. Susie has another workshop this week and is running three more in March 2019. You can book via 021 0243 2730

Daisy Speaks...
15th Oct 2018
We were very fortunate to have Daisy Lavea-Timo spend time with us during the school holidays. Daisy is the current NZ Slam Poetry Champion and an exciting facilitator who helped some of our youth to create Spoken Word items, improve their MC skills and ultimately put together a great showcase of Kaikōura talent on Saturday night.
Official pictures were taken and will be uploaded soon - however you'll get the vibe from the photos here now.
Term 4 Community Education Programme

Our Term 4 Community Education Programme is heading off to mailboxes around Kaikōura over the weekend.
We have a mixture of opportunities available - support with learner, restricted and full licences, cyanotype printing, xmas sewing, smartphone/tablet use and more.
This is our first attempt at putting together a planned term of educational opportunities and we hope we have a great uptake and feedback about what our community wants to have in the future. We are also really keen to hear from people with skills to share!
