The Multi-ethnic Homework and Study Support Centre welcomed a visit from Ministry of Education.

The Ministry of Education visited the Primary Room, where support is offered to students of Year 1 to Year 8. The Primary Room has 42 students in total, the majority of them originally from Afghanistan, Somalia, and Bhutan, and studying in different primary schools in Christchurch. They all enjoy studying at the Homework Centre, where they can catch up with their English language and academic performance. The teachers in the Primary Room help them develop their study habits, individual academic goals with social and learning skills. While the students are studying at the Homework Centre, their mums learn how to cook healthy food for the family in the next room. The delegates from Ministry of Education also visited the mum’s room and enjoyed tasting the kumara soup that being cooked by the mums.

In this term, there is a total of 106 students coming to the Homework Centre to study, increasing from 80 students in the last two terms.
