For children aged 8 – 12years. $35 per child. Register with Brain Bunny: http://brainbunny.co.nz/index.
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
- ** Social English Sessions ** - Do you have a parent, friend or neighbour who would benefit from learning English via conversation in a relaxed, social and non-pressured environment? We will be starting Social English sessions at CPCC on Friday mornings from mid-October. We would love to get the word out there to people who have English as a second language, are home during the day and who would really benefit this type of session. If this is you, or someone you know please watch this space – more information will be coming closer to the time.
