  4. A bit about our childrenCraig wrote this in 2011 We have home educated 5 children completely and are in the process of home educating two others. We now need to apply for an exemption for Grace.  Our first five children have been very successful in their careers:

  5. Genevieve is a fully qualified Legal Executive. She worked for many years for a Lawyer as a Legal Executive before getting married. She worked her way to the top of Air Training Corps to Warrant Officer and was part of the Squadron’s champion marching team. She was a Manawatu Representative Softball player.

  6. Zach is Marketing Director for a multi Million Dollar business in the USA. He has many responsibilities with a number of staff under him. Zach did a paper at Massey and got an A. Zach was also an officer in the Air Training Corps and part of the champion marching team.

  7. Alanson is an Avionics Technician for the RNZAF. He got the trophy for academic excellence  at the end of boot camp. His graduating course had the highest point average for any Avionics course in recorded history. So Alanson handled his strenuous academic course with ease. He is now doing University studies while continuing to do Avionics for the RNZAF. He has also represented the RNZAF playing sports in England and Australia.

  8. Charmagne Smith Dip.HND  can put her hand to anything and be successful. She is a brilliant seamstress, painter and paperhanger, plasterer and does floor and wall tiles too. She is also an expert furniture upholsterer , tiler, dressmaking pattern drafter, highland dancing teacher, International English Country Dance instructor http://ecdnz.weebly.com/, music teacher, language instructor including sign language. Charmagne has helped (was the Foreman for the job), build, clad, roof and floor a shed 35 x 14 meters, dropping 22 telephone poles into large holes for uprights, cementing them in, managing the project of building nine 700kg trusses (her pattern-drafting skills applied to boards 5.3 metres long as well as to lengths of cloth 53 centimetres long), driving a CAT 930 articulated dirt mover, arc welding, oxy welding, plasma cutting and a myriad of hand tools. She also does gourmet cooking for large crowds. http://www.photoblog.com/charmagne

Jeremiah didn’t go into the Police Force. He has now been accepted into the Marines in the USA – he goes into boot camp next month. • We now have an exemption for Grace after the first one was declined.
