Student ID for high-school aged kids?
From NCHENZ
Hello All
Would there be any interest among your members for in a Student Identification Card?
For a small additional fee, your child can apply for a bona fide photo ID card. Use it for public transport and cinema concessions, truancy officer approaches, etc. An intangible benefit is the sense of belonging to a wider a group that a child can feel when owning or carrying a card. I know AHE offers this but I am not sure about other regional groups, I have had a few enquiries from outside Auckland.
Perhaps most teens are enrolled at other learning institutions eg correspondence school so there is no interest?
We would open this to all home educators
Would there be any interest in a home ed T-shirt?
Please let me know OFF LIST
tarnya@slingshot.co.nz
if there is any interest or not
Regards
Tarnya

More Anatomy Museum trip information
For those attending the tour of the Anatomy Museum on Friday 28th August at 10 am...
The location is the second floor of the Lindo Ferguson Building, the main building of the medical school opposite the hospital entrance on Great King Street. Chris the curator will meet us on the landing on the second floor, so if you can make it inside and upstairs for 10am that would be great.
The rules are strictly no food or drink, cellphones or cameras inside the museum. Chris will brief us further before we go in (he might say not too many eews and yuks please!) See you there!
I have not heard yet whether there is a chance for another tour this term, so if anyone cannot make it please let me know so someone else can take your place(s), thanks.

Dear young friends and parents,
The Idea
The best way to make young people acquainted with contemporary art is to get real works of art in their hands. Normally the cost of art work is forbidding for young people.
Youth Prints is an 'adult free zone' for kids to interact with art without being patronised. More info at MUKA - Art for Young PeopleMuka warmly invites you to the upcoming annual youth prints show near your home :

Opportunity to try Rowing
Otago University Rowing club have offered the use of their rowing boats to give youths and their whanau (families) an experience of a life time (thousands of $ worth).
Several community groups will be participating in this day. Activities and events look like they will range from 'give it a try' activities to some races.
Proposed details:
Several community groups will be participating in this day. Activities and events look like they will range from 'give it a try' activities to some races.
Proposed details:
- 11 Oct 2009 8am-11am the earlier the better because the tide is smooth.
- Tall 12 year olds and up will get a turn in the row boats. - The long oars can be a problem for our younger childen.
- 12 year olds and below will get to use the training equipment and the flume inside the club rooms (which is still a fun activity).
- Bring your own smoko plus a something for the volunteer help such as the cox and crew (we will all contribute towards this).
Anatomy Museum trip now FULL
Carli would like to let everyone know her trip to the Anatomy Museum is now full.
Please email her, however, if you haven't booked, and would like to go, as she may be able to organise a second trip if there is enough demand.
Details for original trip here.
