Ruapehu College
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1. Statement of Accounting Policies
a) Reporting Entity
Ruapehu College (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as described in the Education and TrainingAct 2020. The Board of Trustees (the Board) is of the view that the School is a public benefit entity for financial reporting purposes.
b) Basis of Preparation
Reporting Period
The financial reports have been prepared for the period 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 and in accordance with the requirements of the PublicFinance Act 1989.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the period.
Financial Reporting Standards Applied
The Education and Training Act 2020 requires the School, as a Crown entity, to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand, applying Public Sector Public Benefit Entity (PBE) Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime as appropriate to public benefit entities that qualify for Tier 2 reporting. The school is considered a Public Benefit Entity as it meets the criteria specified as 'having a primary objective to provide goods and/or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view to supporting that primary objective rather than for financial return to equity holders'.
PBE Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime The School qualifies for Tier 2 as the school is not publicly accountable and is not considered large as it falls below the expenditure threshold of $30 million per year. All relevant reduced disclosure concessions have been taken.
Measurement Base The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted in a specific accounting policy.
Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
Specific Accounting Policies The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
Critical Accounting Estimates And Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which
the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Cyclical maintenance A school recognises its obligation to maintain the Ministry's buildings in a good state of repair as a provision for cyclical maintenance. This provision relates mainly to the painting of the school buildings. The estimate is based on the school's long term maintenance plan which is prepared as part of its 10 Year Property Planning process. During the year, the Board assesses the reasonableness of its 1 O Year Property Plan on which the provision is based. Cyclical maintenance is disclosed at note 15.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The School reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting date. The School believes that the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as disclosed in t�e significant accounting policies are appropriate to the nature of the property, plant and equipment at reporting date. Property, plant and equipment is disclosed at note 13.
Critical Judgements in applying accounting policies
Management has exercised the following critical judgements in applying accounting policies:
Classification of leases
Determining whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease requires judgement as to whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the school. Judgement is required on various aspects that include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the leased asset, the economic life of the leased asset, whether or not to include renewal options in the lease term, and determining an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. Classification as a finance lease means the asset is recognised in the statement of financial position as property, plant, and equipment, whereas for an operating lease no such asset is recognised.
Recognition of grants
The School reviews the grants monies received at the end of each reporting period and whether any require a provision to carry forward amounts unspent. The School believes all grants received have been appropriately recognised as a liability if required. Government grants are disclosed at note 2.
c) Revenue Recognition
Government Grants
The school receives funding from the Ministry of Education. The following are the main types of funding that the School receives.
Operational grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, which is in the year that the funding is received.
Teachers salaries grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding in the salary period they relate to. The grants are not received in cash by the School and are paid directly to teachers by the Ministry of Education.
Use of land and buildings grants are recorded as revenue in the period the School uses the land and buildings. These are not received in cash by the School as they equate to the deemed expense for using the land and buildings which are owned by the Crown.
Other Grants Other grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, unless there are unfulfilled conditions attached to the grant, in which case the amount relating to the unfulfilled conditions is recognised as a liability and released to revenue as the conditions are fulfilled.
Grants for the use of land and buildings are also not received in cash by the School as they equate to the deemed expense for using the land and buildings which are owned by the Proprietor. Use of land and building grants are recorded as income in the period the school uses the land and building.
Donations, Gifts and Bequests Donations, gifts and bequests are recorded as revenue when their receipt is formally acknowledged by the School.
Interest Revenue Interest Revenue earned on cash and cash equivalents and investments is recorded as revenue in the period it is earned.
d) Use of Land and Buildings ExpenseThe property from which the School operates is owned by the Crown and managed by the Ministry of Education on behalf of the Crown. The School'suse of the land and buildings as occupant is based on a property occupancy document as gazetted by the Ministry. The expense is based on anassumed market rental yield on the value of land and buildings as used for rating purposes. This is a non-cash expense that is offset by a non-cash
e) Operating Lease PaymentsPayments made under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense on a straight line basis over theterm of the lease.
f) Finance Lease PaymentsFinance lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated toeach period during the lease term on an effective interest basis.
g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank balances, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of 90 days or less, and bank overdrafts. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents represent fair value.
h) Accounts Receivable
Short-term receivables are recorded at the amount due, less an allowance for credit losses (uncollectable debts). The schools receivables are largelymade up of funding from the Ministry of Education, therefore the level of uncollectable debts is not considered to be material. However, short-termreceivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
I) Inventories
Inventories are consumable items held for sale and comprised of stationery and school uniforms. They are stated at the lower of cost and netrealisable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of activitiesless the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Any write down from cost to net realisable value is recorded as an expense in the Statement ofComprehensive Revenue and Expense in the period of the write down.
j) Investments
Bank term deposits are initially measured at the amount invested. Interest is subsequently accrued and added to the investment balance. A lossallowance for expected credit losses is recognised if the estimated loss allowance is not trivial.
k) Property, Plant and EquipmentLand and buildings owned by the Crown are excluded from these financial statements. The Board's use of the land and buildings as 'occupant' is
based on a property occupancy document.
Improvements to buildings owned by the Crown are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of donated assets, fair value at the date of receipt, less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. Cost or fair value as the case may be, includes those costs that relate directly to bringing the asset to the location where it will be used and making sure it is in the appropriate condition for its intended use.
Gains and losses on disposals (i.e. sold or given away) are determined by comparing the proceeds received with the carrying amounts (i.e. the book value). The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.
Finance Leases
A finance lease transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, whether or not title is eventually transferred. At the start of the lease term, finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the lower of the lair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The finance charge is charged to the surplus or deficit over
the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The amount recognised as an asset is
depreciated over its useful life. If there is no reasonable certainty whether the school will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
Depreciation Property, plant and equipment except for library resources are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Library resources
are depreciated on a diminishing value basis. Depreciation of all assets is reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.
The estimated useful lives of the assets are: Building improvements to Crown Owned Assets Furniture and equipment Information and communication technology Motor vehicles Textbooks Leased assets held under a Finance Lease Library resources
I) Intangible Assets
Software costs
50 years 5-20 years4-5 years5 - 8 years4 years3 - 6 years8 years
Computer software acquired by the School are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Costs associated with subsequent maintenance or licensing of software are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense when incurred.
Computer software that the school receives from the Ministry of Education is normally acquired through a non-exchange transaction and is not of a
material amount. Its fair value can be assessed at time of acquisition if no other methods lead to a fair value determination. Computer software purchased directly from suppliers at market rates are considered exchange transactions and the fair value is the amount paid for the software.
The carrying value of software is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. The useful life of software Is estimated as three years. The
amortisation charge for each period and any impairment loss is recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.
m) Impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets
The school does not hold any cash generating assets. Assets are considered cash generating where their primary objective is to generate a
commercial return.
Non cash generating assets
Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets held at cost that have a finite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable service amount. The recoverable service amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Value in use is determined using an approach based on either a depreciated replacement cost approach, restoration cost approach, or a service units approach. The most appropriate approach used to measure value in use depends on the nature of the impairment and availability of information.
If an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable service amount, the asset is regarded as impaired and the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount. The total impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.
The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.
n) Accounts PayableAccounts Payable represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the School prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. AccountsPayable are recorded at the amount of cash required to settle those liabilities. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days ofrecognition.
o) Employee EntitlementsShort-term employee entitlements
Employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service aremeasured based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay. These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, and also annual
leave earned, by non teaching staff, to but not yet taken at balance date.
Long-term employee entitlements
Employee benefits that are due to be settled beyond 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service, such as long service leave and retirement gratuities, have been calculated on an actuarial basis. The calculations are based on:
• likely future entitlements accruing to staff, based on years of service, years to entitlement, the likelihood that staff will reach the point of entitlement,and contractual entitlement information; and
• the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
p) Revenue Received in AdvanceRevenue received in advance relates to fees received from [international, hostel students and grants received] {delete as appropriate) where thereare unfulfilled obligations for the School to provide services in the future. The fees are recorded as revenue as the obligations are fulfilled and thefees earned.
The School holds sufficient funds to enable the refund of unearned fees in relation to international students. should the School be unable to provide ine services to which they relate. (If this statement is incorrect please delete)
q) Funds Held in TrustFunds are held in trust where they have been received by the School for a specified purpose, or are being held on behalf of a third party and thesetransactions are not recorded in the Statement of Revenue and Expense.
The School holds sufficient funds to enable the funds to be used for their intended purpose at any time.
r) Shared FundsShared Funds are held on behalf of a cluster of participating schools as agreed with the Ministry of Education. The cluster of schools operateactivities outside of the School's control. These amounts are not recorded in the Statement of Revenue and Expense. The School holds sufficientfunds to enable the funds to be used for their intended purpose.
s) Provision for Cyclical MaintenanceThe property from which the School operates is owned by the Crown, and is vested in the Ministry. The Ministry has gazetted a property occupancydocument that sets out the Board's property maintenance responsibilities. The Board is responsible for maintaining the land, buildings and otherfacilities on the School site in a state of good order and repair.
Cyclical maintenance, which involves painting the interior and exterior of the School, makes up the most significant part of the Board's responsibilities outside day-to-day maintenance. The provision for cyclical maintenance represents the obligation the Board has to the Ministry and is based on the Board's ten year property plan (1 OYPP).
t) Financial Instruments
The School's financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and investments. All of these financial assets, except for
investments that are shares, are categorised as 'financial assets measured at amortised cost' for accounting purposes in accordance with financialreporting standards.
Investments that are shares are categorised as 'financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive revenue and expense' for accounting purposes in accordance with financial reporting standards.
The School's financial liabilities comprise accounts payable, borrowings, finance lease liability, and painting contract liability. All of these financial liabilities are categorised as 'financial liabilities measured at amortised cost' for accounting purposes in accordance with financial reporting standards.
u) BorrowingsBorrowings on normal commercial terms are initially recognised at the amount borrowed plus transaction costs. Interest due on the borrowings is subsequently accrued and added to the borrowings balance. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the school has an unconditionalright to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after balance date.
Borrowings include but are not limited to bank overdrafts, operating leases, finance leases, painting contracts and term loans.
v) Goods and Services Tax (GST)The financial statements have been prepared on a GST exclusive basis, with the exception of accounts receivable and accounts payable which are
stated as GST inclusive.
The net amount of GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the statements of cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST.
w) Budget FiguresThe budget figures are extracted from the School budget that was approved by the Board.
x) Services received in-kindFrom time to time the School receives services in-kind, including the time of volunteers. The School has elected not to recognise services received in
kind in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE READERS OF RUAPEHU COLLEGE SCHOOL’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Ruapehu College (the School). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Cameron Town using the staff and resources of Silks Audit Chartered Accountants Limited, to carry out the audit of the financial statements of the School on his behalf. Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the School on pages 2 to 20, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense, statement of changes in net assets/equity and statement of cash flows] for the year ended on that date, and the notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion the financial statements of the School:
present fairly, in all material respects:
o its financial position as at 31 December 2020; and
o its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended; and
comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with Tier 2 PBE Accounting Standards (PBE IPSAS) Reduced Disclosure Regime
Our audit was completed on 31 May 2021. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed. The basis for our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board and our responsibilities relating to the financial statements, we comment on other information, and we explain our independence. Basis for our opinion We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Responsibilities of the auditor section of our report. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Page 22
Responsibilities of the Board for the financial statements The Board is responsible on behalf of the School for preparing financial statements that are fairly presented and that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The Board of Trustees is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable it to prepare financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Board is responsible on behalf of the School for assessing the School’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Board is also responsible for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to close or merge the School, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board’s responsibilities, in terms of the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020, arise from section 87 of the Education Act 1989. Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts or disclosures, and can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of readers taken on the basis of these financial statements. For the budget information reported in the financial statements, our procedures were limited to checking that the information agreed to the School’s approved budget. We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Also:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control.
Page 23
We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board.
We conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting
by the Board and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the School’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the School to cease to continue as a going concern.
We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We assess the risk of material misstatement arising from the Novopay payroll system,
which may still contain errors. As a result, we carried out procedures to minimise the risk of material errors arising from the system that, in our judgement, would likely influence readers’ overall understanding of the financial statements.
We communicate with the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Our responsibilities arises from the Public Audit Act 2001. Other information The Board is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Board of Trustees schedule included under the School Directory page, Analysis of Variance and Kiwisport Statement, included as appendices but does not include the financial statements, and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information. In doing so, we consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on our work, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Independence We are independent of the School in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

Also of significance, is the increase in the number of students attaining excellence endorsement for Level 1 indicating the academic mentoring that challenges students thinking on Growth Mindset and Habits of the Mind is having some impact. This is a great result when compared with the National and Decile 2 results.
For our at-risk students, we continued to work with our target students from the beginning of the year. Interventions were focussed on English, Maths and Work Ready skills. Students were assisted by personnel such as the SENCO / Learning Support teacher, the deputy principals and their academic mentors. If a student was absent or had other issues that got in the way of achievement, especially with achievement standards, we placed the students on an IEP (Individual Learning plan) and continued either with the achievement standard assessment or the unit standard assessment. Our more challenged students achieved good results, and even with large absences we were able to maintained the authenticity of assessment and courses as outlined in our learner profile. Level 2 Our Level 2 results of 94.1% for 2020 are the best results since 2016. Our results at Level 2 are above the National and Decile 2. Endorsements at Level 2 is an area to focus on for improvement. The majority of students are following an academic pathway and some students are doing combined academic and vocational pathway. Unit standards courses are more aligned to vocational pathways although there are some academic students who choose to take some of the unit standards courses (such as the Barristers course, the first aid course and others). The Gateway programme at Level 2 is an awesome opportunity to give our vocational students opportunities to gain work experience and to attain vocational credits. Level 3 Our Level 3 results are low compared to previous years. After lockdown, there was a significant drop in attendance for Year 13 students. From February to May, attendance was 87% compared to 71% for June to December. A total of seven students left post COVID-19 and six of them left for employment which was deemed a successful result. For those students that stayed, 47.1% achieved University Entrance and 22.2% achieved Level 3 with Excellence. Literacy and Numeracy With 87.8% students achieving Level 1 literacy, we believe there is room for reflection and improvement. It is difficult to speculate if COVID-19 was the cause in the percentage drop compared to 2019, however it is pleasing to know that all students attain their literacy by the end of their Year 12. 97.6% is a great result and acknowledgement must be paid to our hard working teaching staff. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that 2.4%, which is equivalent to a couple of students, did not attain their numeracy while in Year 11. Our focus and goal must always be, for all our students [100%] to attain their numeracy and literacy. Ethnicity We continue to monitor these statistics and achievement. We need to be aware that numbers and ethnicity in each cohort can be quite low, so there can be large differentiation in statistics. Our Maori students are performing well at Level 1, Level 2 and UE as well as performing above the National and Decile 2 results. Our Pacifica student numbers range from 1-3 students and all passed their respective levels. Again, our results for Level 3 were a concern.
Gender Māori boys at Level 1 and Level 3 were our biggest concern for 2020 and have been identified across all three levels for 2021. Apart from Level 3, our results were generally pleasing for both genders when compared to National and Decile 2 results.
Junior Analysis of Variance Junior students are assessed against standard based assessments linked to levels 4 and 5 of the NZC. The assessments are based on assessments and skills that teachers see as valuable going into NZQA. Assessment practices are aligned with NZQA procedures.
The following data is snapshot of results from our Junior Diploma programme. The junior diploma is a framework to recognise students for a combination of attitudes/behaviours, academic and attendance success. The diploma is designed to increase motivation and engagement in year 9 & 10 students.
The Diploma aims to foster and develop effective learning behaviour in junior students that will increase academic success and better prepare students for NCEA. With a look to students becoming more intrinsically motivated rather than extrinsically. Junior Diploma
Following is data relating to the standardised progressive achievement test (PAT) in Mathematics and English, which gives an interesting insight into the distribution of our students compared to a normal distribution. Literacy There is a clear progression from when students start at the college in Feb 2020 verses where they are at one year later in Feb 2021.

Numeracy
As you can see above, the Year 9 cohort ‘mean’ increased by 4.758, from 53.489 to 58.247 which was a pleasing result. The Year 10 cohort ‘mean’ as shown below, increased by 3.29, from 58.061 to 61.3. Although less than the Year 9 result, it was still a favorable increase.
2021 The average stanine for our Year 9 cohort for 2021 is Stanine 3, therefore below average. This highlights the need for learning support and in-class support with teacher aides. However, due to limited funding, the priority is working with students who have scored a stanine 1, the those with a stanine 2.
Extensive support will need to be put in place to ensure that the students currently operating at the below average level can succeed as they progress into Year 10 and later into their first year of NCEA. Equally provision will need to be made to extend those who are clearly capable of operating at a much higher level, for example the acceleration of some students to ensure they remain engaged and extended.
