Community Education at Northcote College.

Night classes are ON at Northcote College
Quality education after school

Term 2 starts from MONDAY 30 APRIL. Check out the great selection of courses here.

Term 2 offers a series of new classes to develop your creative side. Local artist, Heather Grouden will teach All About Colour and Still Life Painting while Julie Ferne is back with her Fun with Watercolour course. We have a new tutor, Anne Egan, who will teach a Mosaic class - bound to be popular so book in now - and we are delighted to have found a teacher for Ukulele for Beginners, Hayden Maskell, who is a teacher right here at Northcote College by day and plays in a band in his free time.

Keep up your fitness at Yoga or Pilates classes or if you prefer something more energetic join the party which is Zumba – 6.30pm Tuesday evenings – all ages welcome!

New cooking classes include Fresh Cheese Making, Baking up a Storm, Indian Cooking and Afternoon Tea a la Francaise. Limited places in these so make sure you book in early.

The tutor for NZ Sign Language for Beginners, which ran for the first time here in term 1, received rave reviews. And don't forget we offer a comprehensive range of foreign languages - great if you're planning a trip overseas.

Migrants are welcome to join our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Programme. And remember a great way to practise your English with "Kiwis" is to enrol in other classes like Art, Cooking, Yoga, Pilates or Zumba.

Secondary school students are now able to attend many of our classes. Call us to check on age restrictions and for further information.

Government Funding has been withdrawn so our courses must be self supporting. We aim to keep prices as reasonable as possible. Two places are available in each course at a reduced fee to those on a limited income, as evidenced by holding a Community Services Card or CSC-endorsed Gold Card.

It is thanks to support from the Birkenhead Licensing Trust and to your ongoing enrolments that we are able to continue to provide courses in 2012.
