About PrEP

Winton School year 7 and 8 pupils participated in the PrEP programme (Primary Enterprise Programme).
Miss Brown (year 7 teacher) and Miss Robertson (year 8 teacher) were the bankers and made all the rules. On the day of PrEP Miss Brown and Miss Robertson changed NZ dollars into 'Midlands Moolah' (50c = 1 moolah, etc.,) Each group had up to 5 - 6 people. Each person had to go for a job for on the day. (CEO, Accountant, Marketer, Designer and Employee).

For homework one week we were given a CV to apply for the job we wanted, Then we had to get interviewed for the job to see if we were the right person for that position. There were twelve venture groups and altogether there was from stationary, Food, Car washes, Recipe books, Technology and Fun activities. the groups were mixed and chosen by the teachers.

On the day each class plus the Plunkett Kids and family members came and had a look around the stalls and activities for a while. Overall the day was a great success and then every group paid back their debts and still had heaps of money left over. Some of the groups sold out of the products while others had some left over. All together the groups raised between $600 and $900 and each pupil learned a little bit more about what it is like to own a service or a shop. A huge thanks to Miss Robertson and Miss Brown for making the day a HUGE success!
