The pioneering spirit of the Methodists in the 18th and 19th centuries in England and Scotland was brought to New Zealand by Methodist immigrants in the earliest days of the foundation of the new colony, and was carried to Masterton by that kindly man of high ideals, the late Mr. Henry Jones. In 1855 Mr. Jones and some of his family arrived in Masterton and built a home. Mr. Jones then sent to Wellington for the younger members of his family and they departed for Masterton on New Year's Day, 1856, and arrived in the newly-founded township on January 6, after a most trying journey, over rough bush tracks and the dangerous so- called road over the Rimutaka Hill, part of the trip having to be done on pack bullocks with hidden dangers lurking everywhere in treacherous, tracks and bridgeless rivers where mishaps were not always avoided through slips on the tracks (they could not be actually called roads) and the scouring of the rivers.

They drew Fri 9th - Y11 PITA the short straw and ended up being the last act performing and so our students had to wait Fencing course until after 11pm to perform, however, instead of this being a draw back they used it to build 12th - 16th - their energy, with an amazing outcome.

The community partnership (YETE) has launched Licence to Work (L2W), which is a Youth Employability Programme or YEP. It is designed to prepare young people for the workforce with mentorship from local businesses. L2W, piloted in three other regions, was created following industry concern that young workers lack the transferable qualities, such as communication, problem solving and time management, that are needed to succeed in the workforce.Young L2W participants receive coaching at school to develop employability skills, and complete 20 hours of volunteer work and an 80- hour work experience placement. To begin the 12- month pilot in Wairarapa, YETE has partnered with Trust House and Makoura College, enrolling six of its senior students in the programme. The students are each on placement for one day a week at Trust House venues throughout the region. Laurel Booth, Makoura College carers advisor, said the students’ teachers and classmates have already noticed a difference in their demeanour and confidence since the programme began. “They’re training in areas they are interested in, and can now be trusted to carry out tasks independently,” Ms Booth said.
