Celebrating E4E
Over the past three years, West Coast students of all ages have led the way in implementing a new curriculum for the 21st century. They've completed projects as diverse as producing books, making costumes, painting murals, designing public amenities, conducting surveys, mapping rivers, planting landscapes, growing vegetables, reconditioning bikes and restoring an 80-year-old rail wagon. In the process there's been liaison with a range of organisations from local bodies to centeral government. It's all being apart of E4E.
During December, district celebrations will be held to celebrate the journey, success and outcomes of the E4E project. This is an opportunity to reconnect all who have been vital in the implentation of E4E.

More than 1,500 enterprising West Coast students have been applying their learning to real life experiences through dozens of practical projects from Harihari to Karamea. E4E aims to develop the competencies, understandings and attributes that will equip students to be innovative and entrepreneurial. A strong focus of E4E is community partnership.
Enterprising Advice
Paul Winter - Chief Executive, Engineering and Manufacturers Association
“Whether we are in primary school or in the highest decision-making power in the country, the core competencies are the same. In the high levels the context of making decisions becomes more complex and the impact of the decisions - if you get it wrong or if you get it right - is greater. But the core competencies remain the same.”
