Hello -

Just an update to let you know there will be limited class sizes for next year to guarantee fantastic attention to detail! I will imit the class to a size of six. Also, for the first 3 families that sign up I'm offering 'pay for one child send another for free' so hopefully there are some siblings out there looking for something different to try after school!

Thanks
Regards
Gina

Course details:
The basics every parent wants their child to know: Walking tall and deportment, how to shake hands, introductions and greetings, the art of conversation and active listening and public speaking to name a few. The advanced stuff for fun: eating foreign cuisine, nutrition, etiquette and manners, baisc dance moves, home management, wardrobe and image/grooming.

The structure:
After school or evening options will be available. Small class sizes to guarantee superb attention and more fun! 'Co-ed' and age appropriate groups. Session length to be determined at this stage.

The teacher:
Amongst other invited specialists - I am the generalist. I have attended numerous confidence/modelling courses in my youth. All very valuable. I have done debating, public speaking, adjudicating and seminars for over 10 years. It amuses me that speaking in front of others is voted more terrifying than death for some! Everyone should be able to get up in front of a group and be able to hold their own. I find once they start, the trouble is keeping them quiet! Born and raised in lovely Christchurch I attended the University of Canterbury to do law, political science and religions until I left due to illness. Then I got sidetracked by the lucrative world of fashion and retail working at Line 7, Meccano Menswear, Assistant Manager for Fragrance and Beauty at DFS Galleria and now Showroom Manager at Ashton Grove Furniture. I intend on becoming an International Protocol Consultant - training is at the prestigous Washington Protocol School. In the meantime I make do with research and learning on my own accord. Next year I hope to attend an the closest thing we have to an equivalent in Australia at June Dally-Watkins school ( www.jdw.com.au )

I intend on surrounding myself with experts such as qualified beauty therapists, a clothing designer, teachers, chefs - you name it, we'll have access to the best!

A Christmas present for you and me...

Hello and welcome - the blog / promotional website for Poppies Development Courses. History: Seeing a hole in the market, I decided it was time to plug it. There are courses available for those that want to model and learn to walk tall... there are courses for those that want to speak out loud and get their message across - there isn't a course out there for those that want to walk tall and not be models, or to learn how to meet and greet people from different cultures, or to learn how to speak in public. It's time for the real deal confidence course to make our young people savvy in todays world!
