Chris is a dynamic presenter who will keep your eyes and ears connected throughout his entire presentation. This is a great opportunity to bring a friend or a business client along to one of our meetings and display how proud we are to be the Rotarians of Hutt City.

If you have any questions relating to the topic please feel free to send them more than a week ahead of the presentation to richard@secl.co.nz

Meeting run in conjunction with the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce. 

Thank you for the invitation to introduce Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (New Zealand's biggest state school) to your members and explain what we do. We began 104 years ago as a way to serve geographically isolated learners but now provide early childhood, primary and secondary education to the many students for whom face to face learning is not an option.

There will be a short slide presentation with some general facts about Te Kura and then I will talk about  our particular connection with the Hutt region and take questions time permitting.
