GREAT POTENTIALS

Our purpose is to work for children, young people and families to relieve suffering; release potential; reduce disparities in NZ society; reduce crime and violence; break the cycle of disadvantage and promote family functionality.

"We need to stop be-moaning the problems and start acting on solutions. A good future for families and New Zealand is within our reach. Let's just do it!"

NZQA Qualification for Tutors

Daisy Tjiptojuwono and Luisa Monk, with Hon. Paula Bennett and former Ranui Hippy Coordinator Karen Loughnan. Both Daisy and Louisa are former HIPPY tutors at Ranui who completed their Level 4 Certificate in Adult Education and Training in 2011.

Second-year HIPPY tutors now have the opportunity to gain formal recognition of their work in HIPPY, by combining that work with a course of study for the National Certificate in Adult Education and Training through the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand.  This Level 4 NZQA qualification comprises six units of study, including the design, delivery and facilitation of sessions for adult learning, as well as facilitating individualised learning.

Tutors’ NZQA study is well supported within the HIPPY framework.  Their local coordinator and the HIPPY NZ Manager (Adult Education) provide guidance throughout their study as they gain an  understanding of how to apply their  learning, plan their study timetable, how to set out an essay and complete assignments.  

This NZQA qualification has become a valuable stepping stone towards further education and  work opportunities for those tutors undertaking the study.
