The University On Wheels pilot programmes at Summerland and Puni are progressing really well.  Ken Ring's first appearance was a great hit and Russell Greenwood created quite a stir with his collection of antiquities.   This week Elaine le Sueur is making substantial ripples with her Forensic Science courses.   And of course there is lots of interest for 2011!

All the 2011 Uni-on-Wheels topics will be available for scrutiny soon at www.universityonwheels.org - be sure to check it out.

The next school holiday workshops will take place later in the year at Selwyn College in Auckland.  However, the In School workshops initiated by University on Wheels start next term at Puni School in Pukekohe and Summerland School in Henderson.  You can check out what the programme could offer your school at our sister website: www.universityonwheels.org - or if you would like to organise for Elaine le Sueur to visit your school to tell you more about the programme, contact her at 09 239 2852 or 027 825 121.

Auckland Branch, NZ Assn for Gifted Children Inc invite you all to a festive afternoon of information at Mt Albert Presbyterian Church Hall, 14 Mt Albert Road, Auckland on Saturday 19th June from two to five pm.   There will be experts on hand to answer your questions (Psychologists, Teachers, Advisors, etc.) and a wide range of activities such as MINDLAB, PHYSICS, DISSECTION, CHESS, K'NEX, CHAOS, ROBOTICS and more!   There are also some impressive displays of services available to high ability children such as:

If you are currently looking for advice or information regarding your child's learning, this looks like the place to start!

A number of schools have expressed an interest in the Uni-on-Wheels project for Term Four this year and this has kept Elaine very busy.   If you think the workshops might be of interest to your school then now is the time to point them in the direction of the website (www.universityonwheels.org) so all the details of what's on offer can be checked out without delay!
