Turning Point Education Christchurch NZ - Operated Feb 2010 to Feb 2011

22/02/2019

22 February rolls around again... Its easy to forgot as we, the lucky ones, move on with our lives. Then we might see the road cones with the flowers in them to remember this anniversary and watch the reruns on the news. And then we remember again the international students and others who lost their lives; parent who lost their children, children who lot their parents, partners who lost their partners, people who may have lost less but the event still impacted on their life ... and we ponder did we forget or did we want to block that time out. ..

Greetings TPE family! I hope you are all well and thriving. It is that time of year that I like to remember the international students and staff at Kings Education who were not so lucky on the 22 February 2011. We finally have a beautiful wall to remember them by which was unveiled today. Take care all Bronwyn http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/89660143/it-brought-tears-to-my-eyes-quake-memorial-opened-to-emotional-families

I pleased to advise that I am back working with lovely students again after the sad closing of the Turning Point Education after the Canterbury Earthquakes. I am the Academy Course Coordinator with the International Aviation Academy of NZ (IAANZ) who train pilots. I hope the TPE family are all well :) Cheers Bronwyn http://www.flighttraining.co.nz/

The TPE family are so grateful we were all safe after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. To the families and friends of the international student who weren’t so lucky, we send our sincere and ongoing condolences for your loss on this 5th anniversary of this tragedy. We should have kept your children safe in our country. Your loved ones are not forgotten - Bronwyn

Kia ora all friend of Turning Point Education which opened in February 2010 and closed due to the Christchurch earthquakes. We are keeping the page open as it is a delight to see that friends were made and kept over the short time the school was open. Keep in touch. :)

Our thoughts go to the parents of the international students who sent their children to NZ filled with excitement and jo,y only to have them die tragically this day, 4 years ago in the Christchurch earthquake.

This thesis is a reflective exploration of the use and impact of using drama pedagogies in the English as a Second Language (ESL)/ English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. It stems from the problem of secondary school English language learning

In remembrance of the international visitors to Christchurch, who came to study and have an experience of a life time, and tragically died in the 22 February 2011 earthquake. Our thoughts are with family and friends.
