REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities

Chairperson’s Report It’s that time again to review the year that has been. I have had the pleasure to be Chair of the REAP Wairarapa board for another year but I have to say that my role is made very easy due to the amazing team that we have which includes board and staff. The team that is REAP Wairarapa are amazing and are looked on highly by not only by our own community but by many other REAP across the country. 2018 continued to be a year where we got out into the community and supported and empowered our people to continue learning. We again exceeded our targets in all areas and while this is a fantastic result we do need to continue to be mindful that sometimes exceeding targets adds more workload to our staff with our limited funding. As always our key business has been about engaging and building relationships with community through a variety of opportunities. We have continued to broaden our focus and are using our REAP Plus courses along with our other learning opportunities to hook people into learning. These are great way to promote our mission which is about Learning from cradle to grave. This year our language programmes in beginning French and Spanish have been great especially for travellers and I also participated in a beginner photography programme this year. Early in 2019 the country was rocked by the events of Christchurch and in the aftermath of this event we have discovered that community and making connections is key.

4 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Our national conference in Invercargill was another great success – unfortunately I did not attend but I hear that Southern REAP did an awesome job. We are lucky to have Tracey Shepherd as part of the Wairarapa team and she is also working on the REAP Aotearoa board to which she is an amazing asset. Also our Deputy Chair, Tim McMahon has continued in his role as a member of the REAP Aotearoa Board, but has noted that this is his last term. The work that they are doing is pivotal to the success of REAP across the country. There have been so many successful events and programmes that we have run this year – Maths is Fun, Moving on, Kapa Haka festival and driver licensing to name but a few. So if you want to learn anything come see us and we can help you. 2018 for REAP Wairarapa was a year of successfully meeting the challenges presented to us and finding more targeted ways of operating in our communities. We have exceeded our targets in both learners and hours delivered. We have continued our work maintaining our REAP philosophy of being responsive and flexible while adhering to the priorities. Relationships are key and we value the connections that we have. Thanks to all Board members and staff for remaining focused in a challenging environment.

Director’s Report Annual reports are a time of reflection, though we continue to believe that looking back is only useful as a mirror to what needs to happen in the future. We spent some time reflecting on the Simon Sinek ‘Golden Circles’ concept, looking really carefully at the Why, How and What. We also really focused on the Who as our strategic direction is based on both the people of our community, their needs. Thus both the why and the who are critical to us. We feel that this aligned very well with our work and the way we go about it. Our team is very focussed on our learners, no matter their age; be it young children in early childhood, or older folk learning how to use their phones. All these activities are carefully planned and delivered to make sure that what we deliver is what the learners need for their situation. 2018 saw us begin a number of new initiatives. Our work with Fab Feathy began in earnest with the appointment of three facilitators to support their community-led initiative, funded by the Dept. of Internal Affairs. This is a complex undertaking and the team have worked well with the Steering Group to make progress on their plan. We also began working with Resilient Carterton, which morphed into Kapai Carterton. This is another community-led development project and we are also expecting great things from this work, though it is in it’s early stages. We began to develop our Dreamtime inspired oral language programme ‘Chatterbox’, and were delighted to welcome Polly Newton to our team to lead this work. There is more about this inside this report, but our special thanks to Sue Douglas for her expert support for this project. Digital Seniors took off, launched by the Prime Minister in August. We are involved in this organisation a variety of roles that support seniors being digitally savvy. Having Dora here on loan from the Digital Inclusion Alliance to help get the organisation off the ground was also a highlight of our work. As we keep noting, our work continues to involve significant partnerships. This is evident right across our work. Some of the partnerships are with funders and some with organisations that have worked with us to deliver to our communities.

Our partnership with the Masterton Trust Lands Trust has benefitted most early childhood centres across our region, as we continued with our range of initiatives that support quality early childhood practices. Maths Is Fun programme was delivered to 26 locations with our partnership with the Eastern and Central Community Trust, including more remote locations like Ruatoria, Tolaga Bay and Flaxmere. We worked with Idea Services to deliver a range of programmes to their clients. They were all aimed at building skills and confidence. Our partnership with YETE grew with new staff being involved and a focus on improving the strength of the strategic groups. This is complex and rewarding work. We also began as a partner in a Work and Income programme aimed at getting some of our NEETs into permanent work. This has been difficult but valuable with many individual success stories. Our schools programmes involved many partnerships, with our three Kahui Ako in north, central and southern Wairarapa; with Wings over Wairarapa; GNS; and with the House of Science. These programmes saw thousands of students advantaged through participation in these activities. A feature of our work this year was the large number of students learning Te Reo Māori. It augers well for our future as a nation! I would again like to note our very competent Board that provides our guidance and direction, with all the appropriate checks and balances.

LOGO & IDENTIT

Lastly our staff continue to operate with great skill and ambition. They are dedicated to their work. During the year I was fortunate to hear them talking to new staff about their work. They talked about their ‘why’, and what it means to them. I was very proud of them!

REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities

Contributing to the Fabric of Our Community Community development has always been at the core of our work. This happens in many ways, and over the last year, REAP Wairarapa has made a significant contribution to organisations across our region. Our Māori name, ‘Rato Akoranga Ā Rohe’ translates as ‘serving education in our region’. The Foundation Statement for REAPs notes that REAP focusses on ‘community development through education’. Thus we give our time freely to support other organisations. Our contributions take many forms, including both formal and informal advisory support, being a member of governance bodies and contributing to their organisational infrastructure. We have staff and board members on school boards of trustees and supporting early childhood centres, helping them to do their best on behalf of the pupils. A number of staff are assisting with community development organisations and with social service organisations, including those in Pahiatua, Masterton, Carterton and Featherston, providing significant input into the governance of those organisations. Staff undertook organisational reviews, peer reviews of other organisations and other REAPs. In addition many of our board members are taking governance roles in a wide variety of organisations, related to their work. REAP directly supported the following organisations:

Wairarapa: Masterton Family Education Support Centre, Wairarapa Volunteer Centre, Fab Feathy, Featherston Community Centre, Carterton Community Courthouse Trust, Connecting Communities Wairarapa, Age Concern Wairarapa, Youth in Education Training and Employment (YETE), Wairarapa Whanau Trust, House of Science (Wairarapa), Te Pātukituki, Wairarapa Community Networks, Autism Wairarapa Charitable Trust, He Kāhui Wairarapa, Community Organisation Grants Scheme (Wairarapa), Tindall Foundation LOGO (as & IDENTIT regional funding managers), Bush Children’s Day Trust, Masterton Kāhui Ako, Pukaha to Palliser, Ka Pai Carterton, Kokomai Cultural Trust, Digital Seniors, Wairarapa USAGECommunity GUIDELINES 20 Networks, Wairarapa Road Safety Council and Community Driver Mentor Programme.

Our Progress on Strategy Goals 2017-2020 Strategic Goal One Greater numbers of people of all ages engaged in learning so that they may have opportunities to be active participants in our diverse community. Summary of Progress to December 2018 Create opportunities that increase access to relevant education opportunities, for people in rural communities

During 2018 REAP Wairarapa provided numerous opportunities: • 283 distinct EC activities (playgroup visits, PD/workshops, visits to EC Centres) • 24 distinct Wairarapa Early Childhood Network activities • 440 distinct Schools activities • 116 distinct ACE programmes • 38 distinct REAP plus programmes

Work with ECE providers and communities, including Tangata Whenua to encourage familites and whanau to engage with ECE.

During 2018 provided numerous PD opportunities: • 461 educators enhancing the quality of their provision through attending WECN activities • 19 workshops to 123 play group parents - water play, Matariki and Safe Families. These workshops support the parents to run the playgroups independently and build quality into their curriculum when REAP staff are not visiting

Work with whanau and providers to promote and support programmes that enthuse young Māori to keep engaged in learning.

In 2018 we supported the continuation of the Nga Tama Toa leadership programme for boys (average of 57 boys participating) and provided a new opportunity for girls – Poi Porotiti (average of 53 girls participating). We also continued our support of the Kapa Haka Academy where 69 young people from Masterton and South Wairarapa attended, and the Whakapiki Reo (28 members of the senior Kapa Haka group) who will be competing at Matatini in Wellington in early 2019. Nga Tama Toa and Poi Porotiti were run over four terms. Whilst not all participants were Māori, a significant number were. This programme saw leadership skills developed and confidence built. Both of these programmes were successful and will continue in 2019. The programmes focus on lifting students from the top and giving other students something to aspire to. These are culturally appropriate programmes where students get to learn more about who they are and be proud of it, along with building resilience and leadership.

Seek to develop partnerships to promote programmes and services for Pasifika learners, especially at ECE level, that build on the strengths and cultural values that they bring.

The Moana Playgroup continued to operate throughout 2018 and had a steady roll of around 9 children and 5 adults. Having the opportunity for these children to learn about their pacific culture has meant a lot to the community. Having their caregivers involved in that learning process had been invaluable. However, the playgroup has not progressed as far as we had hoped, and our goal for next year is to work with them to build capacity and capability of some of the other caregivers to step in and step up into the role that Fale is currently playing, thereby reducing the reliance on just one person. We have a plan in place to ensure that this is an effective way forward for this playgroup.

LOGO & IDENTIT

Along with this we continued to support a small group of Samoan learners to develop their English language skills and become more confident when interacting with a wider range of people in our community. Over the year we supported a core of five learners to complete a combined 225 hours of learning. This group will be continuing with their learning journey in 2019. Over the year we supported our community with 116 ACE programmes and 38 REAP plus programmes. Our ACE programmes took place throughout the region – Featherston, Martinborough, Carterton, Masterton, Eketahuna, Pahiatua, and Pongaroa. Our REAP plus programmes took place in Masterton, Carterton, Martinborough and Featherston.

USAGE GUIDELINES 20

Provide programmes to help grow knowledge and skills for adults of all backgrounds, wherever they are in the Wairarapa, who are not engaged in the formal education sector. Promote engagement in ACE programmes by young people and adults who were not initially successful in their education.

During the year we supported 887 learners to complete 17,392 learning hours. Of these learners 135 were aged 16 to 24, and 449 had low or no qualifications.

REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities

Strategic Goal One Greater numbers of people of all ages engaged in learning so that they may have opportunities to be active participants in our diverse community.

Playgroup Sessions Our early childhood staff attend rural playgroups across our region, specifically at: Mangamaire, Carterton, Kahutara, Pirinoa, Eketahuna, Alfredton, Featherston, Pahiatua, Makuri, Tuturumuri, Greytown, Wainuioru, Longbush, Tinui, Whareama. Taking learning to rural communities is what REAP is all about. We have also worked to provide a diverse service, and particularly with the Pasifika community to establish the Moana playgroup, which has now been going for a couple of years. These sessions are aimed at modelling good practice with the children so the parents can see what they can do in their home setting, or when they run the playgroup when our staff are not present. Our staff also support the playgroups to remain licensed.

Playgroup Workshops Visits Safe Families In Term 3 2018 Jude and Shirley delivered 5 workshops to playgroups on “How to Keep our Families Safe”. Shirley had attended a “Safe Kids Workshop” earlier in the year and we wanted to put the new knowledge into practise. We delivered the workshop to Greytown Plunket Playgroup, Makuri, Pahiatua, Moana and Longbush. We delivered to a total of 42 adults and 60 children over the 5 workshops. Our focus was was on fire and earthquake safety and general safety messages to keep families safe. We ordered a battery kit to show how dangerous button batteries can be if swallowed by a child and we ordered resources from the fire service so each family could take home a book and information on making a safety evacuation plan. We gave out packs to all the Playgroups we support and books to every family that attends a REAP supported Plagroup. Over the following visits to all our other groups we continued to deliver the safety messages so all groups got the information.

Most families indicated their homes were reasonably safe before the workshop but 2 groups felt that they would make their homes safer with their new knowledge and awareness. When we asked what changes they will make we got comments such as; - We will practise our safety drills at home. - It’s reminded me to talk to my children about fire safety and that we need to practise for earthquakes too. - I won’t take the battery out of the smoke alarm when I’m cooking - I’ll be more conscious about our emergency plan - I’ll talk to our children about an escape plan and in case of fire teach them to yell out “fire fire fire” - We’ll leave bedroom doors open a bit in case of earthquake (they can get stuck shut when the house moves and you can’t get to your children) - We will practise the turtle safe position for earthquakes. The workshops promoted LOGO lots of & conversation with parents and child.

Some of the feedback from parents was that taking part in the workshop had helped their Playgroups develop the Health and Safety procedures which they must have in place for Playgroup certification.

WECN Transition Groups Many of the early childhood and new entrant/ junior teaching teams now have developed relationships with each other, so that they are able to discuss the transition requirements for each family and make plans to ensure a smooth process. The teachers have spent time getting to know each other and the different curriculums, and how each other operates. As teachers move in and out of teaching positions and classrooms, this has provided a great forum for new teachers to support each other. From an EC centre… “We are currently reviewing our transition to school procedure, we have deepened our relationships with the new entrant teachers at our local school and as a result have been able to offer support, ideas and resources when they needed it. It has certainly developed a better understanding of the two sectors by the two sectors”.

YETE - Youth in Education Training and Employment The partnership with YETE continued to flourish. REAP continues to manage the finances and administration of the organisation, provide them with facilities and offices and to employ the staff. We also contribute to a wide range of roles, including fundraising, contributing to the work of the strategic teams, and taking a range of leadership roles. We see YETE as critical to our young people transitioning from school to work. The six strategic teams continue to support the work-streams, ST 1 (Leadership & Management Group, ST 2 (Educators Group), ST 3 (Employers Group), ST 4 (Careers & Transitions Group), ST 5 (Whanau Group) and ST 6 (Tertiary COL). These groups bring expertise to their fields and the YETE Action group connects these together. During 2018 the Licence to Work programme involved more sites and evolved to include the Youth Placement work described on page 23.

GeoCamp 2018 In May 2018 we were extremely lucky to be able to run in association with GNS Science, a Geocamp event in Masterton for six of our rural school teachers and 28 students, Six schools were selected to take part, Whareama School, Wainuioru School, Makoura College, Masterton Intermediate School, Chanel College and Hadlow School. Having staff attend was critical in taking back the learnings from the camp along with students who developed a strong interest in science through the camp. The camp was run by five extremely awesome scientists from GNS Science. The first activity undertaken was to get the students to draw their perception of a scientist. They all drew a person in a lab coat. By the end of the camp students could see themselves as scientists and understood that there are many diverse careers in the world of science. With a focus on Discovering Hidden Worlds the students were taken on three field trips to Castlepoint, Lake Wairarapa and Mangaopari Stream. They focused on key learning goals such as science being a process of careful observation, and asking questions of those observations; observing and understanding modern processes and interpreting what they saw and what rocks can tell us about the world we see now and experience what was different in the past. The Geocamp was designed to awaken the inquiring scientist in students through problem solving activities. It was also designed to provide the attending teachers with professional learning and development around scaffolding learning for science and to be confident in organising education outside the classroom trips for all students from their schools. GeoCamp co-leader Kyle Bland, a geologist at GNS Science said the aim was to create an environment as close to doing “real science” as possible. “Themes included ecology, climate change, environmental change, and the geological history of the Wairarapa.” They also put on a public expo at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History to showcase the discoveries they had made.

Whakapapa Quilts Finding connections, empowerment and hope Maungarongo Te Kawa (Ngati Porou) is an artist, storyteller, quilter and fashion designer. His whakapapa quilts workshops are based on the traditional concepts of wharepora (the creative zone), waipunarangi (the source of creativity) and hine te iwaiwa, (the energy of nature). “These traditional concepts,” says Maungarongo, “are also used by people like indigenous midwives, weavers, artists and healers. They are part of living a whole, healthy, vital life. “For me making whakapapa quilts is all about wellbeing and mental health through helping people connect with their heritage. It is so empowering to be able to tell your own stories, especially in a new and tactile way.  “Some of my students have been traumatised by their school experience. I use quilting as a way of showing the students how to make the space for themselves, to clear their minds, to focus on the present moment and to let go of the constant babble and stress of the world. “You don’t have to be a good sewer, in fact trained quilters often find it hard because perfection is not what we are striving for. For these people it is about unlearning the quilting process. We are coming from a completely different angle. You also don’t need an English degree to be able to record your own personal story. Perfection has nothing to do with it either. Whatever the student creates and shares is a blessing. Confidence is the desired grade. Failure is not a concept I accept.” Makuini Kerehi from REAP Wairarapa Makuini Kerehi, Kaitakawaenga and one of the ACE coordinators explains why the course is so successful: “We held our first Whakapapa quilts course in May this year, and since then we have run it 4 times. “I did the first one. It is a journey, often emotional, and for many people it is very healing. “For me it meant that I had to think about the connectors in my family and how important they are. It made me look at how my children connect, not only to me but to the other families that they have, including blended families. They find their connections and they can lead them back to their whenua. I have been able to show my daughters my quilt, where they are, where they fit, how they fit with others and their connections. And my grandchildren can see where their connections fit. “When you get to end of the course you have this beautiful thing. I was absolutely thrilled with my quilt. I just love it. “Ron embeds te reo in the course, so even though I am quite a confident speaker I still learned more reo Maori.  “Our programmes, like whakapapa quilts, are attracting many ACE learners. Te reo Maori with some context and activity wrapped around it seems to be appealing as opposed to being in a classroom type situation. The te reo courses we run are not mostly for professionals. We find that ACE learners like to come to ourte reo in action courses. We run a number of these programmes including - waiata, mau rakau (Maori weaponry), raranga (weaving), kowhaiwhai (Maori design). “These courses build cultural skills and knowledge. Teaching tikanga gives them identity and confidence.”

Our Progress on Strategy Goals 2017-2020 Strategic Goal Two The people of the Wairarapa increasingly have the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to manage and adapt to change at a community and personal level, and are better prepared to participate in our community and economy, particularly in rural areas. Strategic Goal 2

Summary of Progress to December 2018

Support and encourage education leaders to investigate and understand learning needs particular to their communities and

During 2018 we continued to actively support the YETE partnership to work with educators in our community (schools and community) to ensure the needs of learners were being met in a way that best works for them. An example of this is the assistance our YETE team provided to Te Wananga O Aotearoa to support a number of their students through the Youth Employability Passport – Licence to Work (L2W) programme.

Encourage and support local education providers to review programmes and practices with a view to improving Māori education outcomes.

We supported a number of schools to develop programmes and teaching practices that would support the improvement of Māori education outcomes. An example of this was the Wairarapa Moana Wananga - two school holiday wananga where students from the Wairarapa attended Konini Marae for four days. The purpose of the wananga was to focus on whakapapa, local Māori history, ecology and tikanga Māori. The tutors used vehicles such as mahinga kai, weaving, paddling, communication and participants also learnt more about the Tiriti o Waitangi. We supported Warren and Everlyne Chase to work with some schools in the northern part of our region with tikanga Māori and kapa haka development. Feedback received from the schools was very positive and we will continue with the approach in 2019. We also supported Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Wairarapa to organise the regional competitive primary and intermediate kapa haka competition, Te Awa Kairangi o Wairarapa. It was great to be approached by the Kura to support them with this hosting as they have not previously engaged much with us. The event ran really well and the bonus was that our local Kura won and are off to nationals in 2019.

Encourage and support local education providers to review programmes and practices with a view to improving the learning foundations of literacy and numeracy for all learners.

During the year we worked with a number of our tutors to develop their adult education capability. We supported two tutors to undertake a qualification in adult education with expertise in literacy and numeracy, both of whom successfully completed the qualification.

Continue to support and grow “Computers in Homes” (CIH) programme Provide similar programmes to improve digital technology confidence/digital literacy in areas where CIH programme is not running; and Leverage the digital literacy work, so that all our other strands benefit from our contact with these families/whanau.

The CIH programme formally ceased to operate post 30 June 2017 however we continued to support learners who had undertaken the programme. We worked with a number of our CIH whanau to identify their goals and develop plans to achieve them. During the year we delivered 14 ACE digital literacy programmes to 55 learners, who completed 902 learning hours. These programmes ran in Pahiatua and Eketahuna, and a number of these learners undertaken other programmes. 12 of our REAP Plus programmes were also focussed on developing digital literacy skills. We were also significantly involved in getting Digital Seniors launched, and continue to contribute in many ways to the success of this initiative.

All of our programmes have the underlying requirement to embed literacy and numeracy development, and we will continue to work with our tutors to become more familiar and comfortable with embedding literacy and numeracy in their programme delivery. We have secured funding from ACE Aotearoa to provide a more intensive programme of tutor professional development in 2019.

Our Progress on Strategy Goals 2017-2020 Strategic Goal 2

Summary of Progress to December 2018 continued

Actively support activities and opportunities that develop persistence, grit and appropriate risktaking in children. Seek partnerships to grow activities and opportunities for people of all ages to develop life skills that improve sustainability of families and whanau. Seek opportunities to support te reo Māori and cultural traditions of Tangata Whenua, and more specifically Wairarapatanga.

We ran a number of programmes throughout the year that were aimed at developing persistence, grit and appropriate risk-taking in children. These included arts (61 students), music (65 students) and theatre sports (21 students), with the latter being focussed on providing young people who are gifted and talented with the opportunity to build their skills and confidence in a safe and positive environment. We ran 33 ACE programmes that were aimed at developing life skills. 191 learners completed 1944.5 learning hours in a range of areas; cooking, sewing, work and living skills, living on a budget and driver licensing. A number of these programmes were run out of Te Awhina Cameron Community House on the East side of Masterton, working with tutors from that community who we also supported to develop their adult education skills. We ran 55 Te Reo Māori programmes, with 518 participants who completed 13,625 learning hours. Two programmes were significant contributors to this; the Te Reo programme for IDEA Services clients who continued to develop their Te Reo skills through kapa haka. This initiative commenced in 2016 and saw the establishment of a kapa haka group - Te Roopu Manaaki. This group has gone from strength to strength and is now in demand to do regular performances throughout the region. The group successfully competed at the IDEA Services North Island Kapa Haka Festival in Rotorua. The other programme was the Whakapiki Reo Wananga which is the adult Kapa Haka group from the Wairarapa. This programme was a series of noho marae which aimed to develop the te reo skills of group members along with ensuring they developed their understanding of tikanga in preparation for their appearance at Matatini in early 2019. It was important for the group to be authentic and have an in depth understanding of the waiata and haka they would be performing.

Seek opportunities to support Pasifika community members to engage with and strengthn their cultural practices. Seek opportunities to support the learning and development needs of the diverse cultures in our community.

As reported under Goal 1, we have continued to support the Moana Playgroup to provide cultural learning opportunities to preschool aged children, and to support a small group of adults to build their English language skills.

Continue our schools’ leadership programmes

As previously reported we have continued with our schools’ leadership programmes: Nga Tama Toa and the Tararua College Mau Rakau. The Kapa Haka Academy also provides an opportunity to grow young Māori leaders within the school environment.

Seek partnerships to grow adult leadership opportunities.

Whilst we have not provided any specific learning programmes to grow adult leadership opportunities, we have supported a number of our tutors to grow their skills and become more confident to deliver learning programmes to adults.

14 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

We have worked closely with a number of communities to ensure that their learning and development needs are met. An example of this is our work with Te Awhina Cameron Community House to offer learning solutions for members of the local community. We also worked with the Pongaroa community to offer Te Reo programmes for the first time. We were able to run 5 courses to 58 learners who completed 662 learning hours. In acknowledgement of this we also held a Festival of Learning (previously known as Adult Learners Week) event in Pongaroa to celebrate the success of these learners.

Strategic Goal Two The people of the Wairarapa increasingly have the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to manage and adapt to change at a community and personal level, and are better prepared to participate in our community and economy, particularly in rural areas. Collaboration and Support In Early Childhood Staff reports show how often we collaborate with other groups and people in our work at REAP We developed a relationship with Catherine Sands-Wearing at Compass Health and have collaborated with them in designing health resources for Early Childhood Centres that are easy to use and useful for Educators. Compass Health funded the initiative and we delivered the resources to most EC Centres in the Wairarapa. Catherine attended a Leadership meeting to get feedback for Early Childhood Educators to support development of more resources. We have had the pleasure of supporting Lucy Adlam with her Intergenerational Playgroup Initiative. This is an amazing initiative to reduce isolation and build

communities by encouraging friendships between young and old. REAP has supported her with some funding applications and we’ve attended some groups to support the relationships between the elderly residents at the age Care Facilities, parents and preschoolers. Lucy has now set up a committee so these groups can continue. We supported our Pacific Island Playgroup to attend a Professional Learning opportunity through Kahugnunu ki Wairarapa. REAP accompanied the Moana Team on the cultural bus trip organised by Dee and PJ. We discussed how they can use some of their traditional Pacific stories with the children at their Playgroup. We supported Te Kura (Correspondence School) with their annual Wairarapa visit, this year held at Pukaha.Te Kura are a great support for many of our isolated rural families and the EC staff at REAP promote this service to the families we meet. We support new groups to get started. An example is new Playgroup in Masterton called “Tots on Totara”. This group of busy Mums wanted a group in their area so posted on Face Book and offered our support. We have a good working relationship with our local MoE and meet on a regular basis in regards to PLD for teachers and support to playgroups. Through this relationship we have supported Early Childhood Centres to be involved in their local Kahui Ako through targeted PLD.

Although Wairarapa is a small rural area, teachers did not have a plaForm to mix with peers or share successes. #educampWAI provides them with this plaForm. The cost of sending teachers away to professional learning and development can be prohibi?ve for some schools so the event is kept to a koha entry fee to allow teachers to aEend with no impact on school budgets. It is also a vehicle to raise digital awareness amongst the Wairarapa teaching profession. The HOW? The event is managed through a website hEps://educampwai.blogspot.com It is run as an ‘un-conference’ and teachers are able to opt in and out of workshops on the day – no commitment to sit and listen to something that doesn’t interest them. A keynote speaker starts the day with a short presenta?on. The event relies on teachers presen?ng and teachers are able to list their ‘smackdowns’ on the blogsite; just one slide with a basic outline. External sponsorship is sought for good coﬀee in the morning, spot prizes and pizza and drinks for socialisa?on at the end of the day. The #educampWAI2018 saw over 60 teachers aEend, on a Saturday, from a number of primary, intermediate and one secondary school. Mostly Wairarapa teachers but also some Hawkes Bay, Palmerston North and Wellington teachers too. Our keynote speaker was Joe Prebble from GNS Science who spoke to the group about the ease of Educa?on Outside the Classroom and how we can do this more oaen. Smackdowns included; Basic Facts:The Unhelpful Basic Ins?nct, Learner Agency though Literacy, Chapter Chat, Special Needs – survivial ?ps for Teachers, Playbased Learning, Schoolkit!, Library Resources Suppor?ng Teachers, Student Driven Planning and Learning, Emploring Maker Learning and Developing Key Competencies and He Kāhahu Reo.

There is always room for improvement and growth and we are constantly exploring ways to reach more learners in different areas of learning.

REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities

Our Progress on Strategy Goals 2017-2020 Strategic Goal Three Greater diversity and flexibility of education provision that meets learners’ needs at every level. Strategic Goal 3

Summary of Progress to December 2018

Promote innovative, responsive education delivery options for learners at all levels.

We have consistently overachieved on our contracted targets. This is reflective of the responsiveness of our education delivery options, where demand has well and truly exceeded supply in 2018. We continue to be innovative to ensure that we can meet that demand. This includes partnering with other organisations to meet the learning demands of their clients. This approach has resulted in efficiencies thereby enabling us to work with more learners for minimal additional cost.

Seek opportunities to demostrate how technologies can contribute to flexible, inclusive and responsive learning programmes.

As previously reported we delivered 12 technology based REAP plus programmes during the year. These included website development and using various software and applications. We also supported the Digital Seniors initiative, with staff providing one to one support to senior learners in this space.

Work to ensure that parents involved in playgroups continue to improve their skills.

During the year we delivered 19 workshops to 123 play group parents - water play, Matariki and Safe Families. These workshops aimed to support the parents to run the playgroups independently and build quality into their curriculum when REAP staff are not visiting.

Promote a full service model to other groups, including EC centres and communities.

We worked with a number of organisations to offer a full service model to their clients. Examples include Ko Te Aroha where we supported Te Reo programmes, Masterton Family Education and Support Centre where we supported a number of living skills programme, and Te Awhina Cameron Community House where we supported a range of life skills programmes. We have also supported the Fab Feathy and Resilient Carterton Community-led Development Partnerships to operate effectively. Our support includes fund management, reporting, supporting governance and staff management, along with providing advice and guidance. We also secured a contract with the Ministry for Social Development/Work and Income to work with young people who are on a benefit and have an obligation to work. We have been tasked with supporting 25 young people into sustained, full time employment.

LOGO & IDENTIT

This is a challenging project. However we have had a few wins so far with being able to successfully place a small number into apprenticeships and full time work. We expect more results in 2019 as the skills of the participants matures.

USAGE GUIDELINES 20

Encourage and provide strengths-based models for better engagement with Māori learners and whanau.

The above examples are also examples of a strengths-based model for better engagement with Māori learners and whanau. A significant of learners that participated in these programmes were Māori. We had a Board and staff Hikoi to the South Wairarapa coast to learn more about our local Māori history.

Develop learning resources in association with Tangata Whenua.

Whilst we did not do a lot in this area, the support we provide the Chase’s in the north to offer Te Reo programmes into schools and the community includes ensuring that they have access to the resources they need to be successful.

18 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Strategic Goal Three Greater diversity and flexibility of education provision that meets learners’ needs at every level. Maths Is Fun Maths is Fun runs in the July and October school holidays. MIF provides a meaningful, but fun, learning programme to children in a number of distant communities. Maths is Fun connects mathematics with the world around us and shows children and whanau that there is so much more to everyday situations and that maths is indeed everywhere. The theme for 2018 was ‘Finding your way’ based on mapping language, finding and following co-ordinates, positive and negative numbers, using a compass. We gave every participant a compass to use in the sessions and to keep and this was a very popular addition to the Home-pack. Because mapping is used in all small areas and they have their own maps of their region, it was easy to personalise this learning to each venue. Children worked on local maps sourced at isites and engaged in locating and planning

existing facilities and scheming what they would like to see in their spaces that would satisfy sports and recreational wants, needs and dreams. One of the things we have been able to do in the last couple of years, is source new story/ picture books that develop the theme and language and weave the mathematics into a story. This is a great conduit to deliver the mathematics in stealth mode! REAP Wairarapa continues to work with the Eastern and Central Community Trust to ensure everyone gains what they set out to achieve. The funders get a great programme delivered to their wider community and their name is spread in a positive light through these small communities. REAP Wairarapa works hard to deliver the best programme they can with the best equipment and the best teachers and assistants available.

REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities

Leading by Example Michelle is a young mum in her 20’s. She started doing REAP courses through Te Āwhina Cameron Community House. Over the past 3 or so years she has completed courses in up-cycling furniture, gardening, sewing, and cooking. Her passion for cooking grew with her confidence and in 2017 she became a REAP tutor teaching classes of 4 or 5 people at a time. She quite quickly understood the importance of embedding literacy in to her classes and took on board any suggestions that we gave her, to be able to do that. During this time she had her 2nd child. Te Āwhina benefitted from Michelle’s growth and she took on more and more responsibilities at the community house, coordinating volunteers and house activities. In November 2018 Michelle gained a part time paid position at The Warehouse. Initially on trial, her position has now become permanent. Michelle has goals to one day have her own food business. We have no doubt that she will make that a reality.

Our Progress on Strategy Goals 2017-2020 Strategic Goal Four REAP Wairarapa is recognised within the community and by government as a leader and broker of quality education. Strategic Goal 4

Summary of Progress to December 2018

Ensure our early childhood, schools and adult education work is directed to achieving the clear priorities of Government.

As previously reported we exceeded all of our contracted targets, and ensured that all aspects of our work were consistent with achieving government priorities.

Ensure that our organisational structure remains sound and responsive.

We have worked hard throughout the year to ensure that we are operating as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Participate in a wide range of education forums.

During the year we participated in a range of education fora including: • YETE Partnership • ACE Strategic Alliance Kahu Ako – Masterton, South • Meeting with Regional Director of Education • Ako Aotearoa Central Advisory Group • UCOL (Wairarapa) Direction • We also supported the #EduCampWai for teachers in the region.

Keep abreast of trends in education so we can provide leadership and seek opportunities to disseminate evidence-based knowledge of successful responsive education practice to existing providers.

During the year we continued to take a continuous improvement approach to the way we developed our learning programmes to ensure that learners were receiving the best learning experience. We continued to challenge the norm, especially in the school sector where YETE is challenging secondary schools, training providers and employers to work differently to ensure that young people are able to successfully transition from formal education into employment or tertiary education.

Continue to promote to local political and business leaders an inclusive community wide approach to learning and development in the Wairarapa.

Our work with the YETE Partnership is a good example of promoting an inclusive community wide approach to learning and development in the Wairarapa. Developing collaborative relationships across the region to better meet local community needs is a key component of this and we have continued to do this throughout the year.

Seek opportunities to promote our work and brand across the community.

As reported above, we continued to develop strong relationships across our community, working with partners to meet the learning needs of their clients. We took an opportunity to report back to the community and had a significant turn-out to the event. We also produced our Annual Report in a new format, and during the year we developed and began to roll out our new brand. We completed our formal name change with a rebranding. This was a complex process that included a new website, email addresses and URL. We are very pleased with the results of this.

Strategic Goal Four REAP Wairarapa is recognised within the community and by government as a leader and broker of quality education.

Chatterbox, our oral language initiative which came from our Dreamtime work, has got off to a good start. The launch was well attended by key members of our local communities, including South Wairarapa Mayor Viv Napier, who brought her young grandson. We made an effort to make it a child-friendly event and had interactive stations with play activities that promote language interactions between children and their caregivers set up around the room. The young children and parents present enjoyed the activities. Our Project Manager and Speech-Language Therapist Polly Newton gave a reading demonstration of ways to use books that promote language and literacy development with pre-school children. Polly’s two-year old and six year-old daughters also contributed, with one sitting on her lap while she read and one answering some of the questions. We also had a stall at the well-attended Pepe Ora child-focused wellness expo. Our stall was popular, with child-friendly activities of a sand-tray, a child-sized table and chairs with books and a place for parents to sit, relax and have a chat about ways to increase their children’s language development with our Early Childhood Expert Jude and our Speech-Language Therapist Polly. Parents sat and read provided picture books with their young children and played with them or commented on the items they found in the sand-tray.

22 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

One bi-lingual mother attended the event especially to have a personal chat and ask questions about what was the best language approach for her child. Our Speech-Language Therapist was able to recommend that she continue to speak her home language with her child, as there is good evidence to suggest that there are cognitive benefits for bilingual children. She had an ‘a-ha!’ moment when she realised she could read books written in English in her home-language just by talking about what was happening in the pictures. This immediately increased the number of books she has access to and means she can now use books from her local libraries. This is an exciting point in time for Chatterbox as we decide on our future directions and begin to get our message out into our community to improve the language skills and therefore learning and life outcomes .for our youngest members.

Youth Placement Programme Licence To Work Programme Jamie came along to the Licence to Work Programme not really knowing what to expect. After spending time working full time in a job he was really enjoying, he was laid off due to lack of business coming in to the firm. Jamie found it incredibly hard to find work after that and it was really effecting his well-being and daily routines. During the programme Jamie was enrolled into the REAP Driving Licence Programme to obtain his Full Licence which he completed to gain wider employment opportunities.

Jamie has completed his trial period and is now permanently employed and signed up for his first year apprenticeship to become a Qualified Diesel Mechanic. Jamie is doing very well and is really enjoying the job. He is grateful to be employed in a job he loves with so many opportunities to learn new skills and grow his portfolio. This work is funded by Work and Income and is associated with YETE.

Jamie attended volunteer experience with Carterton District Council (putting together and taking down staging) and also Millennium Reserve restoration and planting with Wairarapa Volunteer Group. After finishing the skills section of the programme Jamie went to McCarthy’s Transport to complete work experience. Unsure if this was going to be an area he would like to work in he put his best foot forward and attended to find he really enjoyed the work, environment and skills he was learning. We had organised another area of work interest for Jamie to attend after he had completed work experience with McCarthy’s. He came along to a cohort meeting to say he didn’t want to try anywhere else this was the work area he wanted to be in. Jamie impressed McCarthys with his work ethic and willingness to learn during his work experience. This resulted in McCarthy’s offering Jamie not only full time employment but also the REAP WAIRARAPA – growing great communities 23

Other Bits Rebranding Wairarapa REAP has rebranded as REAP Wairarapa, in line with the rebranding of our national organisation as REAP Aotearoa. We will keep our internet names unchanged at present.

Website We have revamped our website to make our courses easier to find. It has given us an opportunity to use our new branding and to ensure that our site is more interactive. Time to have a fresh look at www.reapwairarapa.nz

Email Addresses have changed All core REAP Wairarapa staff now have their email address as xxx@reapwairarapa.nz This will take some time to work through and it has meant significant investment of time to complete.

New Staff During 2018 we were delighted to have new staff contributing to our work; Polly Newton with Chatterbox, Maria McKenzie with YETE, Kylie Brady (back again) with Youth Placement work, Jack Sheppard , Alexa Belavskis and Anne Nelson, with Fab Feathy.
