Playdays down at the beach Playdays continued to be a key strand in our support to rural playgroups, bringing neighbouring communities together, and providing a chance for rural playgroup families to extend their networks and pick up curriculum activity ideas to do at home or back in their own playgroups. Budding scientists were busy at the beach exploring science concepts, natural resources and gifts from Papa-tu-å-nuku at three Beach playdays in the summer. “Liam has really enjoyed playing with another child together in harmony,” said Emma Gardner, form Tinui Playgroup. “It’s great to see them enjoying and learning in the outdoor environment. “

Organised by the Careers and Transition Teachers of the Wairarapa, in partnership with REAP and Wairarapa Workforce Development Trust, it launched the new Vocational Pathways and offered a better understanding of the impact of educational choices on future career options, as well as a chance for local businesses to engage with students. 170 young people began their own pathway, taking part in workshops and listening to speakers from six industry sectors. “It was really good to find out from UCOL and WELTEC what I need to get into their courses,” said Rose from Chanel College who is interested in a career in hospitality.

6 Working to develop our people and our communities Annual Report 2013 Wairarapa REAP Influencing educational achievement

We can best influence education achievement by working with those who have influence. We have applied this thinking to all educational groups, meeting regularly with regional leaders in all education sectors to make sure that what we deliver is relevant to them. Discussions have led to changes to programmes and working in partnership to deliver learning opportunities for students.

Engaging with education leaders so we deliver what is relevant 2013 saw an expanded programme of professional development for teachers, with workshops arranged in response to feedback from meetings with local school principals. There were workshops on phonics with Yolanda Soryl, language, culture and identity with CORE Education, and literacy workshops with renown educationalist Stephen Graham. There were also sessions on iPads in classrooms and the numeracy tool Numicon, which for the first time brought early childhood and new entrant teachers together. Workshops were well attended with some schools electing to send their whole staff along. “Thank you for reminding me about Keeping abreast of trends so we can the responsibilities that we all have,” said Michael Mercer, provide leadership in this area Principal at Hadlow School who attended the presentation from We have continued to keep abreast of trends through our own CORE Education. “It gave me more insight as a teacher to find professional development and professional reading and contacts. out the background history of my students.” Workshops for primary students on art, science and music Participating in a wide range of were organised to reach as many rural students as possible by education forums taking tutors out on the road to deliver sessions in the students’ own schools.

Other two-day workshops included speech making and leadership. “All opportunities like this develop the skills of our students,” said Whareama Principal Darren Kerr. “Sometimes these things are not as well catered for in our small staffing situation, but it is places like REAP that ensure our kids do not miss out on these wonderful opportunities.”

Moving On Wairarapa REAP again joined forces with the South Wairarapa Principals’ cluster for the second Moving On conference to 135 Year 8 students. Hands- on sessions and keynote speakers gave students a chance to try out new activities, and aimed to open their eyes to what’s available educationally and socially, provide ideas for career paths and show how they can get involved in their community. “It was again an inspirational day,” said Greytown Principal Kevin McKay. “It was a great opportunity for the children to look ahead to the opportunities that will come their way in the next few years.”

7 Working to develop our people and our communities Annual Report 2013 Wairarapa REAP Supporting quality early childhood education

Wairarapa REAP works extensively with local early childhood organisations, including support for rural playgroups. We offer advice and support on Te Whāriki, management and good practice to a range of early childhood education providers, and co-ordinate the Wairarapa Early Childhood Network which gives professionals opportunities to share ideas on best practice.

Looking to improve participation rates across the region Supporting our rural playgroups and groups such as Ko Te Aroha to deliver a rich learning environment for their preschoolers has encouraged more families to take part in early childhood and strengthen their support networks in their local communities. The work of the the Wairarapa Early Childhood Network also underpins improving participation rates. By helping to improve the quality of early childhood Ensuring parents involved in playgroups provision and forging better community connections, more continue to improve their skills children are enrolling at their local centres.

They also serve as a way to get more parents to come along, on their own or as a playgroup, and take part.

8 Working to develop our people and our communities Annual Report 2013 Wairarapa REAP Putting the principals and goals of Ka Hikitia into practice

Efforts to support the Ka Hikitia strategy this year has included work on the importance of the strategy and the benefits it brings to all students, including meeting with principals and e-newsletters providing links to good practice and available resources. The Wairarapa REAP Kapahaka Festival continues to grow and this year over 900 students took part, a testament to the way the festival has become a major driver for schools to increase the amount of Kapahaka in the classroom. The development of the north schools’ own cultural festival has also seen an increase in Kapahaka. The results are sometimes manifold. Not only have both events provided a platform for schools to showcase their success, but principals have also reported enhanced connections with whānau, Celebrating culture and Māori students better engaging with school and achieving For the first time, North Wairarapa schools came together for greater success across the board. a host of cultural performances at the inaugural Wairarapa As an organisation, Wairarapa REAP has continued to look for REAP North Wairarapa Primary Schools Cultural Festival. ways we can improve our own practice in this area.

Getting to grips with new technology With iPads and tablets more commonplace, training to get the most from the new technology has featured across other areas of REAP’s work. The Schools Programme included workshops on iPads in the classroom for both teachers and students, whilst beginner courses were offered through the Q-brand on how to get the most from iPads and tablets. “We covered so much in such a short space of time, but I left feeling more confident about navigating around,” said participant Sharon McKenzie.

10 Working to develop our people and our communities Annual Report 2013 Wairarapa REAP Using government money for government priorities

Wairarapa REAP continued to target money from government agencies on those that government sees as a clear priority, across all sectors of the community. Early childhood is a key investment area. This year we continued to provide resources to improve standards and professionalism in the sector, by working with rural playgroups to achieve certification from the Ministry of Education and providing on going support to the Wairarapa Early Childhood Network, coordinating another successful year of professional development for teachers working in the sector. In schools, we continue to introduce staff to practical ways they can put the principles of Ka Hikitia into practice.

Older students also had the opportunity to explore the new Vocational and a chance to not only polish their new language skills, but Pathways at the Future Me conference, organised by REAP, the also navigate the ins and outs of using public transport.

Wairarapa REAP would like to thank the following for their collaboration and support, which has made a significant contribution to the success of our work throughout the year. Lands Trust Masterton 20/20 Communications Trust Ministry of Education Eastern and Central Community Trust REAP Aotearoa NZ ACE Aotearoa Ako Aotearoa Wairarapa Workforce Development Trust Wairarapa Road Safety Council Literacy Wairarapa Toi Wairarapa Te Kura a Rangi Trust Land Based Training Wairarapa Youth Focused Network Henley Men's Shed Connecting Communities (previously Masterton Safe and Healthy Community Council)

Our thanks is also extended to the tutors, speakers, community groups and others who generously share their skills, knowledge and time to make Wairarapa REAP programmes and projects effective for all participants.

Youth one-stop shop Wairarapa Youth HQ is a new Facebook page offering a public noticeboard and a private messaging service where young people aged 12 to 24 can take a first step towards getting the information and help they need. Messages are answered in confidence by a team of nine trained administrators, working professionals placed in services that are supporting Wairarapa young people who can help youth identify the issue and provide information and contacts for services that can help. It was initiated by the Wairarapa Youth Focus Network and is administered by The Wai HQ committee supported by Te Kura a Rangi members and representatives from Connecting Communities, Wairarapa REAP, Southern Wairarapa Safer Community Council, Supporting Families, Child Adolescent Mental Health Services, YMCA, Trust and Community. A Facebook page was identified as the ideal first stage in a youth survey and as a way for youth agencies to break down some of the barriers around young people accessing services. The site is geared towards information sharing and is not a counseling service, but aims to provide a springboard to more comprehensive help and advice. Administrators are available to answer private messages 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

The Reporting Entity

Wairarapa Rural Education Activities Programme Incorporated was incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 on the 4th December 1974. Wairarapa Rural Activities Programme Incorporated is an approved charitable entity registered with the Charities Commission under the Charities Act 2005 since the 22nd March 2007 and is therefore tax exempt. The REAP is listed in Schedule 1 of the public Audit 2001 as a public entity. The financial statements comprise statements of: financial performance, movements in equity, financial position, cash flows and notes to these statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. They comply with the approved Financial Reporting Standards (FRSs) and Statements of Standard Accounting Practice (SSAPs) as appropriate for entities that qualify for and apply differential reporting concessions. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost unless otherwise stated. Accounting Policies 1 Property, Plant and Equipment All owned items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and, except for land, depreciated as outlined below. All items are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. 2 Depreciation Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, taking into account the estimated useful life and residual value of the asset. The following rates have been used:

Buildings 50 years 2% Leasehold Improvements 20 years 5% Computers and Peripherals 3 years 33% Electronics and Office Equipment 5 years 20% Furniture and Fixtures 5–10 years 10–20% Motor vehicles 3 years 20% 3 Investments Investments are stated at cost. 4 Goods and Services Tax (GST) All accounts are stated exclusive of GST, except debtors and creditors which are GST inclusive. 5 Taxation Wairarapa REAP is exempt from the payment of income tax as it is treated by IRD as a charitable organisation under section CW41 – 43 of the Income Tax Act 2007. Accordingly no income tax has been provided for.

6 Leases Finance leases, which effectively transfer to Wairarapa REAP substantially all the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased assets and corresponding lease liabilities are disclosed and the leased assets are depreciated over the period Wairarapa REAP is expected to benefit from their use.

21 Working to develop our people and our communities Annual Report 2013 Wairarapa REAP Statement of Accounting Policies for the period ending 31 December 2013 (continued)

7 Employee Entitlements

Provision is made in respect of Wairarapa REAP’s liability for annual leave. Annual leave has been calculated on an actual entitlement basis at current rates of pay.

8 Statement of Cash Flows

Cash means cash balances on hand, held in bank accounts, demand deposits and other highly liquid investments in which Wairarapa REAP invests as part of its day-to-day cash management.

Operating activities include cash received from all income sources of Wairarapa REAP and records the cash payments for the supply of goods and services.

Investing Activities are those activities relating to the acquisition and disposal of non-current assets.

Financing Activities comprise the change in equity and debt capital structure of the Society.

9 Differential Reporting

The business is a qualifying entity for differential reporting purposes by virtue of the fact that it has no public accountability and is small as defined by the Framework for Differential Reporting. These financial statements have been prepared taking advantage of all available differential reporting concessions except that GST exclusive accounting has been adopted and a Statement of Cash Flows has been disclosed.

Changes to Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies. All policies have been applied on a basis consistent with previous years.
