When: 10am Wednesday April 17, 2019. Doors open at 9.30 with refreshments.



Where: Bridge Club Rooms, Neil Hunt Park, Lynmore, Rotorua


New Zealand-trained and Rotorua-based, Annette is an innovative teacher and speech language therapist who works alongside parents and teachers with students who have difficulties in the area of speech, language and literacy development.


She will explain how and why our communication skills are constantly evolving to meet the various stages in our lives.


But this process is often taken for granted. Many people struggle for a variety of reasons and the resulting effects on their lives can be huge.


Annette will present an overview of the importance of acquiring early language, a process she links to the transition to literacy.


Believing that having fun is a prime motivator, Annette weaves humour into her work and her presentations.


Visitors welcome. Gold coin entry for U3A guests.

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

Over the next few weeks we'll be introducing the amazing wahine who have accepted the challenge of our Trek to Transform trip to Vietnam which will take place in April.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!

As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

To find out more about Dee and how you can support her in this worthy cause visit dinglefoundation.org.nz...
