Calling All Seniors - Technology Course for Seniors in Browns Bay, How to Use Your Mobile Phone

Gavin from Browns Bay

"Technology is now the way of the world – which is daunting for seniors as we did not grow up with it like the young ones of today, so who do we go to for instructions for how to cope with it?

"Technology is now the way of the world – which is daunting for seniors as we did not grow up with it like the young ones of today, so who do we go to for instructions for how to cope with it?
I strongly suggest you go to Gavin Tipping’s classes as he is a wonderful tutor and will open up a new world for you and give you the knowledge and confidence to operate your mobile phone, laptop and PC home computer.
Gavin has small classes and shares his knowledge with personal attention to make sure you understand technology and its many uses. Gavin is patient and understanding, his classes are very friendly in a relaxed comfortable setting with like-minded people who become friends.
I am amazed at how much I have learnt in a short space of time. Previously I only used my iPhone for texts and phone calls and now I have discovered and learnt how to navigate and use the various applications available. I have also broadened my knowledge and confidence with my laptop and PC computer and found that technology is not as frustrating and overwhelming for me as it had been – in fact I enjoy it! Thank you to my new friend Gavin. Tina (Aged 83)

The Cancer Society is pleased new vaping laws will finally put an end to the marketing of highly addictive products to children and non-smokers.

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:

- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.

We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.
