Every year St Andrew’s students throw themselves

enthusiastically into World Vision’s 20 and 40-Hour famines.

Led by the community service groups, StAC this year raised

an impressive $18,000 for World Vision projects in Malawi. The

College was awarded the ‘Greatest Improvement’ Award at the

World Vision conference in Auckland.

Rose Oakley and Ben Methven - the school’s Community

Service Leaders - received a platinum award from World Vision

for the school’s efforts, an award given to only five per cent of

schools across New Zealand. In addition, Jack Duff (Year 12)

was awarded a Sanitarium Scholarship that enabled him to

attend a World Vision Leadership Camp during the holidays.

The camp offered Jack an opportunity to meet other secondary

school students from around New Zealand with a similar

interest in not-for-profit organisations like World Vision and the

work that they do.

Jack says he found the experience very motivating. “It was an

amazing and unique experience. I had a great time, met some

incredible people and now feel empowered and motivated to

make a difference.”

TEDx

Talking

at

Hannah Hudson (Year 10)

impressed the audience at

TEDxChristchurch this year

with a 10-minute discussion

on the infrastructure and land

transport systems in the city.

She used the frameworks as

an example of her journey

through the Future Problem

Solving (FPS) process. FPS is

an international programme

that poses complex global

and community issues, which

participants break down and solve. Participants have

to identify the underlying causes of the problems and

propose solutions.

Last year, Hannah won the 2013 National Middle Division,

and earned a spot on the New Zealand team that

travelled to an international FPS conference in Iowa.

She says it took three drafts to get her speech up to

TEDx standards, but was proud of the finished effort.

Hannah was given a standing ovation when she finished

her speech with the promise that; “We need to teach

our students how to think, not what to think. Teach us to

solve problems and we will tackle them ferociously. Give

us young people the tools and frameworks, and we will

achieve the impossible.”
