Support Nayland Community Education

Kiaora and welcome to the community education courses offered at Nayland College for 2012.
Nayland College's Community Education Programme continues in 2012 thanks to generous donations from Canterbury Community Trust, Network Tasman Trust and a Nelson City Council Community Assistance Grant Contract.

Congratulations for embracing lifelong learning. We hope you can find a course which adds a new dimension to your life, extends or kick-starts an interest, opens up a social circle or assists you to further your employability.

Enrolments for 2012 Courses:

Enrolments for Term 1 courses open on Monday 22 January 2012. Enrol early to ensure a place in a class and to avoid disappointment. Whilst some courses fill very quickly, we have other times where your enrolment may just make the difference to whether the course runs or not. Decisions on whether a course proceeds are based on enrolment numbers 3 working days prior to the start of a course.
Please check that a course is suitable for your requirement by reading the "Further Tutor and Course Details" or contacting Kathryn Sclater, the Co-ordinator.

Payment for courses can be made by online banking, direct credit, posting a cheque or paying by cash or eftpos at the College.

Value of Nayland's Community Education Programme

With community and business support Nayland keeps offering opportunities for motivated people to be lifelong learners, build confidence and strengthen our community. WHY? Research published by Price Waterhouse Coopers in 2008 showed there are 5 types of learners: • Breaking barriers - participating more fully in community or society as an individual • Community – participating and contributing more to communities • Foundation – reading, writing, language, literacy • Life long – expanding skills, knowledge and networks • Targeted – “Give it a go” despite negative perception of learning environments. Outcomes and benefits: • Increased foundation skills • Increased confidence and self-esteem • Improved mental and physical health, home life and communication • Moving towards further study or employment • Increased community participation “When compared to other community-based activities, ACE is likely to have one of the highest added values in economic terms as it focuses on improving people’s productive lives through learning, benefitting all areas of an individual’s life, whether as employees, parents or members of the community.”
