Martinborough School Computer Trust Established |
|
|
|
|
|
Using money previously budgeted for donations and/or sponsorship, Palliser Estate Wines are encouraging the development of IT and computer skills within Martinborough schools (primary and intermediate).
They established the Martinborough School Computer Trust in 2001 in conjunction with other local businesses - Stevens Filterite, Martinborough Wine Centre Ltd, the Martinborough Hotel, Pain and Kershaw, Martinborough Transport, Holmes Construction and two anonymous donors. To date, up to $65,000 has been pledged over five years, in addition to work experience time at each of the contributing businesses.
The objective of this charitable trust is to enable the school to embrace technology and to ensure that each pupil has computer training. The funds allow for the purchase of hardware, software and IT training, and will ensure the pupils acquire computer literacy skills they will need for their futures.

Governance These partnerships assist the work of school management and Boards of Trustees (BOT), particularly in areas where schools cannot easily access the services, advice and support that tend to be more readily available in other communities. Partners from the company are likely to join a school’s BOT or serve on a foundation that empowers local people. more »Mentoring Partnerships of this type have developed to help students reach their full potential if they happen to come from backgrounds that might not have provided them with the insight into their potential for further study and career opportunities that mentoring can offer. Mentor relationships are often associated with some other form of partnership. more »Education Enhancement The school benefits from such a partnership through an additional teaching programme which enhances the existing curriculum. This programme may be delivered by teachers through business support, or businesses may fund delivery by specialist instructors working in partnership with the school. Businesses can form a generic education enhancement programme with a partner school, or they can become involved with one of the six existing specific programmes: • Kiwi Can • Project K • Books in Homes • Young Enterprise Scheme • Enterprise Studies • Primary Enterprise Programme • Sea and Learn more »Vocational In this type of partnership the business and a local school seek to find common ground where they can work together on areas of mutual benefit. Often this involves a project where students gain measurable outcomes in a curriculum area, while working in an authentic business environment with hands-on support from the partner business. more »Scholarship Businesses can award scholarships to individual students. Their future is supported by an investment in their tertiary education as well as holiday work, plus career and study guidance from the partnering business. more »Sponsorship This type of partnership looks at how firms can offer financial support to a school, particularly those in remote or low-decile areas, via the goods and services that a business can offer in order to improve a school’s resource base. more » |
