Hi neighbours,

The live action remake of the children’s classic Mulan will premier at 7.30pm on Friday on the streaming service Disney+.

The film was pulled from Disney’s cinema release schedule due to the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Fans will have to pay $39.99 to gain “premium access” to view it, on top of the regular Disney+ subscription of $9.99/month. After several months the film will be available for free for all Disney+ subscribers.

The $440 million blockbuster was mostly filmed in New Zealand, and critics have praised the scenery.

Will you be watching the premier of Disney’s Mulan tonight from home?

Congratulations on our Senior folks who graduated today on the Technology Course for Seniors Module 1.

It was a wonderful opportunity to see them grow in their understanding of how to use their smartphones, and laptops to navigate the Apps and Photos.

Take a look at some of their comments of the course below:

Elaine (Aged 68)
'"The course was an uncomplicated and practical introduction on how to navigate my smartphone and laptop. Gavin taught me how to maximise my smartphone and to download Apps for my phone, like: WhatsApp, Google Photos, Zoom and more. Every lesson was accompanied by detailed notes. This is a course for everyone regardless of ability and I completed the course feeling more confident and with a desire to still learn more. Thanks Gavin!"

Frank (Aged 70)
"Gavin is able to communicate his knowledge of IT with us "Oldies" in a simplified manner that we can understand and at a pace that takes the course attendees along for the journey. Those that may find it a bit difficult get extra attention. No note taking during the course is nessessary as Gavin provides comprehensive notes via email after each lesson. We do a lot of our learning by doing "Hands On" with his supervision to guide us. All in all a very worthwhile course."

Trish (Aged 74)
"This course covered all the basic areas for the use of a smartphone, tablets and laptops. We learnt how to use Apps on our smartphones, the technology and technical terminologies related to our devices. There is ample time to ask questionsand get help if you need it. I would recommend this course to anyone needing help to learn the basics of how to use their smartphone, tablet or laptop."

...........

Our next intake is in 2 weeks time, so why not contact me to put your name down and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in my home with a classroom style set up for the course with other likeminded folks.

Here is what the course covers

- Device Basics - Mobile Operating Systems AND Navigating the Smartphone and the iPhone (Buttons and Screens)
