e-Day in theFar North happenedon 4th October 2008, !What a blast", and sooomany computers
and other ICT ANTIQUES, we were fortunate to catch a glimpse of an old model (probablythe first machines on the market) Commodore 64, bak in the day calculators, even cash registers, stuff before even i was thought of but all the more interesting. Louis, Brad, Chris, Janine, Agnes and mwah, handled the day effortlessly, of course with the Site coordinating by Ursula from Cleanstream Kaitaia . The local people in surrounding areas of Kaitaia were fantastic customers, obliging to questionaires and information on e-Day, now they want to get rid of T.V.s, radios and the like. An excelllent and long day had by all, and a great big thank you to Kaitaia CleanStream for the use of their awesome facilities, and the surrounding communities/schools for their support in the safe removal of toxic e-waste from our landfills. Next year promises to be bigger and better, so we will see you all in Kaitaia for ewaste on e-Day 2009, hopefully the word has got around and we"ll see more volunteers. At the end of the day Kaitaia Far North managed to reap in approxiamately 6 tonnes of e-waste from 103 vehicles on a cool-blustery sunny Far North day

These are our rewards for taking that unknown step into education, when we thought everything was going to be too hard to learn, because a computer is a clever little electric box.... But then, we have all faced much worse happenings in our life.....what's a little mouse gonna do???? .. of course we found out, walah!!! thank you

Way to go Kaitaia!! I went to Kaitaia College and have lived in Canada since 1966. Many great memories of high school in Kaitaia and living in Awanui. Love those beaches in the Far North.
