SeniorNet Whitianga – a non-profit, all volunteer group of seniors dedicated to supporting seniors to get the most out of their digital devices (smart phones, laptops and tablets).

Term Three Classes (16 July – 17 September)

SeniorNet Whitianga is focusing our Term Three sessions on individual tuition for Seniors. If you just got a new smart watch, laptop or smart phone, (whether it is an Apple or Windows/Microsoft/Android product), make an appointment to get together with one of our tutors for an informative but relaxing session. In 45 minutes, you’ll be surprised how much you can learn about your device. Three One-on-One sessions are held every Wednesday during Term 3. Choose a time that suits you, starting from 10:15am, 11:15am or 1:15pm. Each session costs $8.

Attention Apple Users! If you want to find out more about your iPad or iPhone, sign up for an informal group session with fellow Apple enthusiasts. All welcome whether you’ve just started using an Apple/Mac or are experienced. You’ll pick up all sorts of handy hints from Pam, our tutor for all things Apple. Enjoy a cuppa while you share ideas and information. We run two Apple User groups which meet on alternate Wednesdays from 2:15pm until 4:15pm. Each session costs $10.

If you’re interested in any of these sessions, please get in touch with our super-efficient Admin, Sheryl. Email her at seniornet.whitianga.admin@gmail.com or call her on 021-022-62504. 

Special Programs

Each Term, SeniorNet Whitianga aims to bring you a special session on a topic of interest to the community. Recently, Jess Corkill, Librarian with Mercury Bay Library, spoke to an interested group of our members. Jess gave us a lively and informative presentation about the many helpful resources the library has available on-line. Participants brought along their tablets and smart phones for a fun session where they learned how to access best sellers, magazines etc. from the comfort of their living rooms. SeniorNet is very grateful for the participation and support it receives from people like Jess who give up their time to educate the community about all the wonderful resources available to us. (We are currently working on special presentations for Terms Three and Four. Watch this space for more information.)

If you’d like to meet our fantastic tutors and volunteers, come along to our Drop In Session, on 13 August at 1:15pm. Our classes are held at Whitianga Social Services Building at 4 Cook Drive. Parking available.
