English classes for adult migrants and refugees
Hi neighbours – we offer English classes to help with resettlement in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We want refugees and migrants to have the opportunity to learn English, to pursue aspirations for themselves and their families, and to participate in all aspects of life in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Come along to the class nearest you and join the fun learning. You will learn everyday “kiwi” language for work, study and conversation with your neighbours, friends and family.
Morrinsville: Monday 30 April 10 am – 12pm.
Matamata: Wednesday 2 May 6.30pm-8.30pm
Te Aroha: Thursday 3 May 6.30pm – 8.30pm

Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
