Farms and rural lifestyle areas are dangerous places for both children and adults. In many cases accidents, often fatal, are the result of familiarity with the task being performed or the machinery used.
In an effort to teach primary school children about safety on the farm, Cindy Hartwig, Hartbeat, ran a workshop for students of five schools. The Adventist Development and Relief Agency, as part of a wide range of community services undertaken by the organisation, sponsored the workshop.

A special live concert will launch an unusual album recorded by young Christians Ali and Leighton Heise next week.
Year of the Home features 14 original songs written and performed by mother of two Ali and her husband Leighton, the chaplain of Avondale High School. "We wanted to share our music and at the same time we want to help Asian Aid, the organisation that helps underprivileged children in places like India. The album seemed a great way to do both," the couple said.

Students from years seven to 12 at Avondale School, Cooranbong, have good reason to be proud of their teacher, Adelle Faull, because even after 35 years of teaching she is still a student just like them.
"The day that I stop learning is the day that I have to stop teaching," she said. One result of Ms Faull's continued studies is that in August she became Dr Faull having gained an unusual PhD in the subject she loves with a proven passion - teaching itself.

Two schools have been awarded the highest accolade in this year's Counties Manukau Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES). Auckland Seventh-day Adventist High School in Mangere is one of the schools that have scooped the outstanding regional company of the year award.
YES students establish their own companies, create products or services, implement marketing places, earn money, pay taxes and keep profits - all in the real world. Auckland Seventh-day Adventist High School's company, PHATSO, developed the Homework Station Application, which utilises social networking to help parents, students and teachers connect to achieve greater academic success.
