Community Education at Northcote College.

Night classes are still happening at Northcote College
Quality education after school

Term 1 starts from MONDAY 13 February. Secondary students are now able to attend many of our classes. Call us for further information. Check out the great selection of courses here.

A new course is Making a Good Brain Great! Gerry Brawn-Douglas will share how to eat right to think right, how to nourish your brain with vitamins and do mental workouts to keep it strong, the critical component of physical exercise, ridding your brain of negative thoughts, counteracting stress, and much more.

If your new year's resolution is to improve your fitness we have several options. Yoga classes have been revamped with several different times for your convenience. For more mature students we have Yoga with a Touch of Tai Chi which will help you improve your balance as well as teaching you to relax. Pilates will help strengthen your core – we have options on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Or for something more energetic join the party which is Zumba – 6.30pm Tuesday evenings – all ages welcome!

Our great range of cooking classes includes Fresh Cheese Making, Cake Decorating and Afternoon Tea a la Francaise. I've just received the recipes from the tutor for Baking up a Storm and my mouth is watering – Raspberry Loaf, Coconut & Banana Muffins with Lime Mascapone, Cheesecake Brownies… are just some of the goodies you'll be baking. Limited places in these so make sure you book in early.

We are delighted to offer NZ Sign Language for the first time at Northcote College, alongside our comprehensive range of foreign languages.

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.

Government Funding has been withdrawn so our courses must be self supporting.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 from your ongoing enrolments that we are able to continue to provide courses in 2012
