Journal: Caitlin's Visit to Hamilton.  
Caitlin came over on Wednesday for an interview at the Waikato University for teaching. The 3 part course could last as long as 5 years depending on what areas she takes. She will probably take initially,early childhood which covers 3 years with a possible extension into the primary area of education; which last up to the 5 year mark.

Initially, she thought she would like to be an architect, she liked and was good at art, maths, computer technical drawing and was also good at English but the course parts were long, taking up to 7 years. Her second choice was in the area of children. Both courses can be taken at the Tauranga  Campus. Living with sister Ashlee in a Tauranga house belonging  to Mum would suit everyone, nicely.

I do hope she gets a place, like the UK, here in NZ, the placings are becoming limited due to the present recession, thankfully not as bad as most countries.

We met her lunch before she had to go and meet old friends at Sacred Heart School and also her old matron at the school boarding house. The Matron had a soft spot for Caitlin and her compassion for the younger girls during her years there. Caitlin said matron's  her eyes began to water as her visit ended.  If it had not been for Caitlin's leaving for Tauranga Otomoutai College, she was earmarked for the place of the boarding house Head Girl during her 7th form year.

I hope Caitlin gets her place at the University. Like I found Vicky, she has a feeling for the young ones.
