Capture

CE's highlights -  giving children and young people real-world challenges that are relevant to them.

One of the joys of my job is seeing the changes young people and families are making in their own lives, as a result of their learning.  Highlights this month have included signing certificates for the 93 Auckland young people who completed the Youth Employability Programme this year; reading students’ articles in the annual Student Voice magazine that’s hot off the press this week; and attending the 2019 SouthSci Symposium where student groups reported back on their research projects.
