Innovative Young Minds - Week 1

Posted by Jaye Howey on Jul 16, 2019

Last week the first group of 40 students enjoyed this year's Innovative Young Minds (IYM) programme for exposing more girls to the STEMM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and manufacturing) and the associated career opportunities.

Annette Ruck and Des Darby had previously interviewed three Naenae College students all of whom gained places on the course. One of those students, Ilma Aminudeen was in that first cohort and I had the pleasure of hearing her as the student who spoke on behalf of them all at the Grand Hall of Parliament.

Two thirds of this will be used by the Hospice to purchase items for patient care and the remainder will be added to its current need for capital expenditure. The larger part of these funds were raised at our annual Te Omanga Golf Tournament.
