MoD was started in 2010 by Kylie and Emma.

Best friends for 22 years, we started MoD together with the idea of utilising our project management skills to get better outcomes for kids and schools.

We could see that companies were making significant investment into education and social programmes with very little outcome.  At the same time we saw a real need in New Zealand schools for high quality resources and experiences for kids.  

Communication between the two was what we thought was missing and the result is Ministry of Done (School Kit to our 32,000 teachers)

After receiving the class prize in Standard 2, ahead of T.R. Hancock, Kylie set her sights high. But....despite going on to receive the chapel choir medal (rumoured to be for attendance) a career in musical theatre was not to be.

An adolescence in Wanganui, with only her Yamaha Mint for transport, saw her develop a sophisticated, weather responsive algorithm which meant she could get home and back to watch ‘The Young and the Restless’ inside Period 4 and lunch without either her Dad spotting her from his place of work or being missed from 6th Form French.

All this planning served her well in the logistics stakes and she went on to develop a fine career in retail, teaching and child health.

Kylie’s strengths include:

  • Project and Implementation Management

  • Primary Teaching (Art, Social Science and IT Specialist)

  • Logistics and Planning.

  • Retail Merchandising and Management

Emma Bettle

Aside from being the Rongotea 25m freestyle champion (U12) Emma never received a prize for anything but instead developed a not entirely natural obsession with lists and star charts.

In a particularly unusual move, while other Brownies were choosing rubbers or stickers as the focus of their ‘Collector’s Badge’, - Emma chose hair. Yup - hair. Despite an unusual level of dedication (as opposed to talent) to jazz dancing, not commonly seen in her hometown of Palmerston North, her dreams of attending ‘Fame School’ in New York never eventuated.

The love for good cake continues however.

In the end the list obsession proved far more useful and she went on to a career in teaching and project management.

Emma’s strengths include:

  • Project and Implementation Management

  • Community Consultation and Cultural Policy

  • Secondary Teaching (Art History, Classics and English Specialist)

  • Research and Resource Design.
