Inner wheel
This week two of our Inner Wheel committee members visited Makoura college in Masterton. The purpose of this visit was to deliver twelve box’s of knitting and baby articles to the Teen Parent Unit.
Makoura recognises the importance of education being available for all, and responds to this by catering for different needs and learning styles. The Teen Parent Unit including a child care centre is on site.
The Teen Unit opened in 2002. It is based on the grounds of Makoura College and has a roll of 30. This unit is to enable Teen Parents or expectant mothers 19 years or younger to continue their education.
We were made very welcome and were shown around the unit and child care centre. This unit has given a great opportunity for Teen Parents to continue their education and facilitate for continuing child care up to school age.
The staff of the unit were very grateful for all of our donations.
The Teen Parent Unit is a warm caring environment with the teen parent and child in mind.
