International New Industry Entrant Students
Here are some of my students from Nauru, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Australia (my son who is now in the course), Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, and Papua New Guinea.
Please post a comment and I will ensure it gets read out to them.

Re: International New Industry Entrant Students
Just read your comment Paul to the class, they all are really doing well. However one of our Kiribati girls is dangerous with a brush (hope to change that soon).
Here are some comments from them transcribed by me (Translations in brackets):
Gloria from Solomon Islands - "me happy tu mas" (I am very happy)
Vitinia from Fiji "E Qasenivuli totoka qai matata na nodrau veivakavulici o Michael kei Mavuku" (the trainers Michael and Mavuku are really excellent)
Florintine from Vanuatu - "hi, me glad tu mus blo tekem course ia" (hi, I am glad to be on the course)
Missy from Nauru - "Ibibogin magur turin engamen aton" (Enjoying working with all the other students) - Missy was the hardest one to get a comment from. I hope you appreciate this because it took some time...
Anari from Kiribati - "Te mauri, te raoi ao te tabomoa" (Hello, painting is fantastic, its beyond my expectations!)
You have no idea how hard that was to get... they were all too shy to comment. I managed to get one comment from each nation present.

Re: International New Industry Entrant Students
Wow, how do get your clothes so white? Are you all tennis players? Real painters have paint all over them!
Any colour as long as it's green!

Re: International New Industry Entrant Students
The trick is to take the photo when they first get the uniforms, trust me they don't stay white for long.

Re: International New Industry Entrant Students
Thank you Lizzie, I enjoy training all my students, male and female. I do feel privileged helping the girls though. They have such obstacles to overcome, they are so courageous tackling a male dominated industry. One of my female students could not come to class for a while because her boyfriend busted her jaw. Another girl's boyfriend burned all her text books because he was jealous of her learning a trade.Lizzie wrote:I see you are very proficient at your occupation and you get much pleasure with these girls. I am sure you are a great teacher. You have a good team! Thanks for sharing this thread!
Here are some inspiring stories of the girls that have been taking this class:
