Prepping for PrEP

Our Year 9 pupils

attending job

interviews in

preparation for our

annual Primary

Enterprise Programme

market day. The Year

9’s are responsible for

providing services

such as Banking, Real

Estate, Marketing.

Pupils who applied to

head up the

various areas of

responsibility were

required to prepare a

CV and attend an

interview with Mr Frost.

Humility- Our successes are due to God “But, ‘Let him who boasts boast in the Lord”. 2 Corinthians 10:17 16 August 2018

Kia ora Parents. Two things came to mind when I saw today’s front page. Firstly, it reminded me of the day the Year 9s were interviewed for PrEP government agencies and how much I enjoyed meeting 18 well-presented young people. It was an opportunity for them to experience a real interview applying for a real position. The pupils had to submit a detailed CV along with a covering letter explaining why they wished to be awarded the CEO position of a particular agency. I think it was one of the best groups I have ever interviewed. They communicated clearly and articulated their thoughts in a mature manner. When the 5-10 minute interview was finished, there was time for a quick debrief on how the interview went – giving direct feedback on the

highlights and mentioning one area to strengthen. I wish something like this had been set up when I was at school. I think I would have approached my first job interview feeling more confident and equipped having had an opportunity to participate in an event such as this. Even though I am aware that businesses are using more than interviews to select the right person for the job, meeting a person face-to-face and spending time in discussion remains a very useful experience. I am pleased we offer pupils the opportunity to experience an interview and grow through it. Some of you may not be aware that PrEP was introduced to Hillview in 2003. It only involved classes in Year 5-8 as we had no Year 9 or Year 10 pupils at that stage. The programme was run over 10 weeks and it had TWO market days. The first day was held in Week 5 and the idea was for pupils to test out how their products sold then spend the remaining 5 weeks to improve them for the second market day. Suffice to say that we only ran the programme like that once and realised very quickly that one market day was more than enough! However, we had found something that seemed to fit so well within our mission and vision statements. We were able to develop and strengthen the gifts of pupils in order to create a resource that people would purchase (and enjoy – some of the product made over the years has been amazing!) and the ensuing profit would be used to bless others. PrEP provides the infrastructure for innovative entrepreneurship driven by the ultimate desire to further God’s kingdom. If it were just about working through budgets, brainstorming marketing initiatives, and ordering supplies then we would have missed our overall purpose. It is a special privilege for our Year 10s to contribute ideas on how we can use the money raised and assist someone else in need. As someone reminded me earlier this week, “we are blessed to be a blessing.” Nga mihi nui, Steve Frost [Tumuaki]

Those struggling with their health. Who would have believed what we now report? Who could have seen the Lord's hand in this? 2 It was the will of the Lord that his servant grow like a plant taking root in dry ground. He had no dignity or beauty to make us take notice of him. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him.3 We despised him and rejected him; he endured suffering and pain. No one would even look at him— we ignored him as if he were nothing.4 “But he endured the suffering that should have been ours, the pain that we should have borne. All the while we thought that his suffering was punishment sent by God.5 But because of our sins he was wounded, beaten because of the evil we did. We are healed by

the punishment he suffered, made whole by the blows he received.6 All of us were like sheep that were lost, each of us going his own way. But the Lord made the punishment fall on him, the

punishment all of us deserved. Isaiah 53: 1-6

By Miriam Fisher, Teacher - learning support, The Arts and Te Reo Māori As Christians we understand God loves diversity. Each of us are different from each other and the world is filled with a wild and colourful array of creatures and creation. How can we encourage our children to live confidently and creatively when often at times we associate learning and doing as correct or incorrect? Here are some simple ideas for developing divergent thinking and growing talents in your tamariki. Years 3-6

Prop stories: grab a box or bag and throw in some random items or cut some pictures out of a magazine. Or give your child a bag and ask them to walk around the house looking for 10 interesting little things and to put them in the bag. Take the items out and have a look at them, then create a scenario. eg These items were found inside a strange bag at the beach. Who do you think they belong to? Tell me the story of how they got there.

Write or type the story for them as they tell it. Encourage wild vocab and the odd made up word. Do one yourself first - show them creativity is fun. Get them to illustrate it and take it to school to share if they want to or skype a grandparent and read it to them.
