Story to Book - capture your family history
As part of our Community Education Courses at Hillmorton High we are offering a wonderful opportunity to work with Fiona Brooker, a professional genealogist, to capture your family history:
Story to Book
Tutor: Fiona Brooker
Have you been researching your family history and have lots of material but the resulting family history book just hasn’t happened? What about your stories? If we don’t write them down then they could disappear within three generations.
Over this course you’ll plan your book, write your story and organise your photos, finishing with an illustrated book ready to print and share with your family.
Tuesdays 7.00pm – 9.00pm
11 February – 17 March (6 weeks)
Fee: $120
To enrol you can go to the school website or email me ace@hillmorton.school.nz
