Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount Douglas

On the start of PrEP (Primary Enterprise Program, our Schools Market Day - Mr Webb) we didn't sell anything so we had to drop the price of our items to twenty MiSMs (Melville Intermediate School Money).  Our first customer then brought one of our wind instruments.  After time lots of our wind instruments were bought by our customers.  We had only 11 instruments left.  When it was five o'clock we dropped the price further to 15 MISMs.   Later on lots and lots of customers came and brought almost all of our wind instruments.  When all of the customers had left we only had two instruments left and Nathan H's Mum brought one of those.  I had been demonstrating the instruments by spinning them, I got tired of spinning the instrument so I went and bought a slushy and I got a free sherbert from my mate.   After that I went on to the Haunted House and I got a free slime.   When I came out of the Haunted House I went back to my business.  When I came back I saw Deighton's Dad buy the last one.  After we were sold out I started watching some guys play some Ps2 games.  

Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount

It was a hot day on the 2th of October and it was the day that PrEP was going to start.  It was the end of the school day and most of my group went home and brought all the things that we needed.  When they got back we all set up the table and the food that we were selling.  We were selling slushies for 15 MISMs and sherbert for 10 MISMs and our group name was the Sunny Shark.  The business started selling them and after a few minutes some Japanese students from Ritsumeikan brought food from our business.  After a few more minutes more people from school and parents and brought lots of slushies, we nearly ran out of cups.  While we were selling food me and Brae went out and played MW3.  We had to pay 10 MISMs just to get in.  After we finished playing we went back to our business and and saw lots of money in our bag.  I counted it and it was just enough to pay the bank the MISMs that we owed them.  That was really good because it meant that we weren't going to go bankrupt.  An hour and a half later we only had thirty minutes to go and we had to lower our prices down to 5 MISMs.  After we lowered our prices down lots of people came to us and brought our slushies so we nearly ran out of them.  After thirty minutes PrEP finally finished and we had so much money that we weren't even close to going bankrupt.  We had lots of fun and it was fun running that business.

Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount

On Thursday 25th of October 2012 we were preparing for our PrEP day which happened on Friday 26th of October 2012.  We didn't just start on Thursday but we started to organize for PrEP on the term before this term.  We started to get into our groups and talk about what we are going to sell on our PrEP day.  Our groups name was Sugar Power and our group members were Icis, Asinate, Kayla and Joseph.  On the four weeks before PrEP day we decided to sell the following things: sherbet, popcorn, lollie kebabs, raro, raffle tickets and drink.  All the stuff that we sell we decided to sell them all for 5 MiSMs each.

The PrEP time was 4:00pm-6:00pm so that meant we have to make the things organized before the PrEP time.   We created a sign for our group.  We had to make the popcorn, the sherbet and make the lollie kebabs.  Myself and Kayla were making the popcorn and the sherbet and Joseph was creating the sign and making the lollie kebabs by himself because Icis wasn't here.

After school we finished everything that we had to do.   We were wondering what else we could do so we helped the Scary Movie group if they wanted help and they did need help so we helped them to set up their store.   When we finished helping them it was time to start setting up and doing our store outside of Room Five.   Kayla and I went to the design room to get our table.  After that we set up everything outside Room Five.   There was already some people walking around outside.

Now the PrEP Market Day was starting and the people were using their MISMs to buy stuff from the shops.  After that we had lots of customers and most of the people were buying popcorn.   It was lots of fun.

Melville Intermediate - Levi's PrEP Recount

On the 26th of October Melville Intermediate had their PrEP Market Day at School.  My group was called 'Sweet Express'.  In my group was Joey, Connor, Liam and myself Levi.  In our group we sold mini-donuts, popcorn, lemonade and windmills.   During PrEP we had twenty five minute breaks.   In my break I went to my friends stall played V8 Super Cars and Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe.  The worst part of PrEP was the packing up, it took around half an hour.  It took half an hour to pack up and about fifteen minutes to clean up.

Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount from Sarah

On Friday the 26th of October our school had PrEP Market Day. It went from 4:00pm and ended at 6:00pm.  Everyone in the school was in groups and they had their own stalls or shops.  Out group did a haunted house and it was called 'Scarey Movie'.  In our PrEP group we had Rose, Kylie and I.  It was 25 MiSMs to get in which stands for Melville Intermediate School Money.  That included gloop or slime and a chocolate lolly or lollipop.  Many people came to our haunted house and some were really scared but others just thought it was funny or stupid.  Some people thought we were just going to be watching a movie because of the name 'Scary Movie'.  One person was so scared that she punched Kylie on the arm!  When we went on our break we bought lots of things, some were really kind of expensive which was sad.  I had 50 MiSMs which was the same as ten dollars.  I spent it all on lollies and a book that broke so that was annoying but I fixed it.  When we got back to our Haunted House so many people wanted to get it that it was crazy.  They were giving us MiSMs but we couldn't take them because Rose still wasn't back so lots of them left.   When Rose got back lots of people came back and when they went into our Haunted House they scared us more than we scared them which was kind of funny.  It was really long and tiring day but it was still really, really fun! I still didn't like that the Year Seven's got to do it but it was still really cool.  At the end of the day we had 495 MiSMs which people had paid to get in which was really good, and we weren't expecting PrEP to be as fun as it was.

Melville Intermediate - Brae's PrEP Recount

On the 26th of October our school had PrEP Market Day.   When I got to school my Mum and I went to Room Five and put our stuff on the bench.   Then I saw Brent with the spoons.  After me and Brent had a talk, Nathan came and we waited for Ryan which took ages.   When he finally came we started to set up the stall.   So we dragged the desks through the door and made our stall.  Then I put the ingredients on the table and PrEP started.   We stood there for a while and some Japanese students came and brought some Sherbet.  They wanted different flavors but Nathan just gave them the same one.  We also sold them to some little kids that thought that the slushies were really cold but I warned them.  We sold a lot and at the end of PrEP had 820 MISMS in the bag.   At the end of PrEP we had to clean up a huge mess from the slushie machine.   After the clean up we were tired, but we had fun and it was a good day.

Melville Intermediate - Survivor: Melville Episode 2

In the first episode of the 2012 season (full recap below) Parauri won the first challenge sending Whero to elimination. In the second episode Whero were looking to press home their advantage, Parauri to even the score.

In this episode the teams had to run a short course holding onto a rope and work as a team, but temptation was just on the horizon... Any player could leave their team at any time and make a dash for the immunity horse that was located a short distance away. Would anyone betray their team to guarantee themselves another round in the game? Who would win the race to the finish? Who would be eliminated?

To further complicate matters for Whero apart from losing the first challenge both Tara (CPA trip to Auckland) and Aublix (Moon boot) had to have last minute replacements filling in for them! How would Jayden and Shannon match up at short notice?

This season has only five weeks remaining, until the sole survivor remains! Filmed on location at Melville Intermediate by the production team of Veronica, Bianca and Jessie from Room Six.

 
Please note: this episode was filmed during rain and high winds and contains some distortion during the running of the challenge please take care with the volume levels!

Episode One - Full Recap.
The 2012 season started with an indoor challenge due to difficult weather outside. Both teams had to stack die on top of each other with the 'six' facing the top and put a small silver trophy on the top to signify victory. Both Whero (red) and Parauri (brown) started strongly. The break came in the seventh round when Adrian defeated Aublix to make the scores 4-3 to Parauri. In the next round to force sudden death Tyryn had to beat Woody, but he was unable to do so and Parauri won the first challenge, sending Whero to the elimination vote. In the vote for Whero, everyone was at risk. The first 'blind side' of the game took place, when Brent from Room Five thought he was voting with the others to eliminate Aublix, however everyone, including his best friend in the game, Bunnarath, voted to send Brent out instead and he was the first individual eliminated in 2012 and Room Five was the first classroom to be taken out of the game.
