Change For Change – How to inspire students
to change the lives of those in need
In 2014 the students of St Patrick’s college Kilbirnie
identified a school in need in Samoa and raised
$23,000 in order to help rebuild and provide
resources to the school. This whole project was
student led and was successful in not only raising
the money and building a relationship with the
overseas school but also in inspiring the students of
surrounding colleges to join the project.

Bringing communities together in a connected world
What do we really want to be connected to, and how does the drive for BYOD and 1 to 1 devices bring us closer or further away from that? How can the skills we already have help us guide our community’s digital journey? And how can N4L’s services contribute to creating a safer environment for students and staff in this connected world? Presenters: Andy Schick & Pete Hall Andy leads the marketing and communications team, managing all brand activity and external communications coming from within N4L. Prior to joining N4L he was involved in a number of entrepreneurial endeavours, entering the telecommunications industry when selling his most recent start-up to an ISP. Before moving into the world of technology he was involved with start-up social justice organisations in Australia, the United States Europe, driving community transformation. In his role at N4L, Pete is focussed on gathering and sharing stories of great teaching and learning to better connect our community, and he is also involved in several projects to help educators connect and collaborate using the tools and services that N4L offers. Pete joined N4L following 13 years in education, most recently as Acting Principal at Upper Harbour Primary School in Auckland. He has a passion for organisational change, cooperative learning and practical ways to apply critical thinking to the use of technology, and has previously presented on game mechanics in education, leading change and engaging community.
