Adult Learners Award - Winner Kate Oliver
Date: 26/03/2010 
The Eildon Group was delighted to sponsor the Adult Learners Awards which were held at the Victoria Hall, Selkirk on 23 March 2010.
Eildon's chosen category was for the Mature Learner Award and it was won by Catherine Oliver.
Kate (58) has been attending adult literacy classes in Hawick for the last 18 months. Once she was able to understand her dyslexia and use assistive technology, she started to make up for lost time in her learning.
Kate joined the computer group, and has learned to do email, clip art, word processing, formatting, online learning, using digital camera, publishing as well as literacy skills such as writing formal and informal letters, punctuation, spelling strategies and organising paragraphs. She has joined a writing group and her learning achievements are much admired by her grand-children. Now she has the learning bug, she just wants to keep going!
Our congratulations go to Kate for her great achievement.
