Telling it As it Happends

At the ceremony, the graduates were given the chance to share their experiences and achievements at CETC.

‘All the way from the Cook Islands, from French Polynesia, Federated State of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Niue, Samoa, Solomons, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu even from next door, Fiji, we left our families, our work and our familiar environment in search of new skills, new ideas and, for me, to improve my English as well.’

‘We came expecting to be taught, as that is what we were used to at school. ‘But we were made to use our five senses, to observe… to see… to listen…to use our hands, use what we knew, share these, and trial the new ideas. In fact, we learnt hard and fast and practised into the nights, long hours to link what we heard with what our hands were doing. ‘But I must say there was never a dull moment at CETC! I can go back confident that I can apply everything that I have learned and practised.’
