Risingholme Community Centre Term 3 Term 4 sees us continuing to offer a range of classes across the city at Risingholme Community Centre, Riccarton High School, Shirley Boys High School, Christchurch Girls High School and Hornby High School, many of which have become a tradition of Risingholme Community Centre programme. So what better way to prepare for summer than to get out and learn something new by enrolling in a course of interest – maybe something that you have tried before and want to explore further or perhaps you would like to try something new, or to meet new people with similar interests. It has been proven that Lifelong Learning has many benefits with the obvious ones being the continuation of a learning journey, learning a new skill, increased confidence, meeting new people and much more. Our full range of classes can be viewed on our website www.risingholme. org.nz Are you Digitally challenged in our ever changing digital world? Or if you are not familiar with using a computer, we offer classes on Computer Basics or maybe something more advanced such as Word, Excel or Photoshop. If you would like to know more about these or other
classes that we are running, we would love to hear from, you can enrol via our website www.risingholme.org. nz or phone the Risingholme office 332 7359. New and exciting at Risingholme Community Centre is Zentangle. What is this you might say - well if you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or your mind wanders in meditation, or you would like a creative aspect to your mindfulness, this may work for you. This method of drawing does not require any previous drawing ability, it can be a 15 minute practice you can build into your everyday, or you can explore some of the more creative ways you can then use this design practise to make your own cards, images, or decorate products. This class will teach you a variety of ‘tangles’ and get you started on your Zentangle path in a supportive and creative atmosphere, and you can build it at a pace that suits you, within your time constraints or desire as you move through the term. If you would like to know more about these classes or others on our website www.risingholme.org.nz please call the office 03 332 7359
