Something Special.

Title- Going to Wellington
Audience- Ambassadors


In 2013 I was so lucky to be one of our school Ambassadors. Ambassadors are people who represent a current thing or place. And being one of them was amazing. We spoke to many important and wonderful people. For example we spoke to....
-Mr John Key  (Prime Minister of NZ)
-Minister of Education
-Alfred Ngaro
-I.R.D. (Inland Revenue Development)   
etc.


After all our hard work. One of the visitors we spoke to really enjoyed us so she decided to pay our tickets to Wellington. When we went to wellington we got to speak to the I.R.D.


Go onto my the tab above that says Ambassador 2013 for more imformations.

Persuasive Writing.

I believe that Pt England Year 8 students should attend Tamaki College. Tamaki College is a superior college. It’s close therefore it save you time and petrol, because these days petrol is starting to get really expensive. Tamaki College has improved NCEA results.Their teachers are very inspirational too.


If you are a pupil who wants to attend High School with your netbooks I recommend that Tamaki College is the option for you, as it is part of the Manaiakalani Cluster who uses netbooks (Digital Learning) for you to use instead of paper and pencil. The uniform is beautiful and I'll sure I will look fancy in that, (also you too)!


Second reason, they are so kind we even go over  on Tuesdays and also Thursdays for Technology. There are four classes we attend at tech (Short for Technology) there is Music, Hard Materials, Cooking and also Graphics. They can provide a great education for you and also can create memories of a lifetime. Do you think any other schools can give all of this to you?


Conclusion-

It’s hard to argue with Tamaki College, because they are just the best of the best. That’s why T.C. (Tamaki College) is the one for me and you! So enrol now for Tamaki College.  

Article - Letter from the Bully!

Living a life experiencing bullying became an everyday routine to person named Chad Michael Morissette. Back in the day when he attended Junior High, he became a victim of bullying. About 5-7 boys from the school football team would torment him each day for the the whole school year.


He says the reasons why this took action was because he has same gender love relationship and also because he was small and bullied for all possible reasons. Now at the age of 34 he has moved on from that horrible nightmare.


Having been bullied in the past really affected his life in a way that he had all this but not just him but also one of the bullies. 20 years after from being a part of bullying he had stopped thinking about it.   
Scrolling through facebook one day a notification popped up. He received a message, it said something like this......


Hey Chad,
I was recently talking with my 10 year old daughter about bullies. She asked me if I ever bullied anyone and sadly I had to say yes. What came to mind was how mean I was to you when we were in Jr. High. I want to apologise. If we lived in the same state I would apologise face to face. I don’t know if you remember, but I do and i’m sorry.

Chad found the message touching and moving. It brought up a subject he has thought of in quit a long time. He accepted the apology saying something like this...


Thank you for your apology. I was quite moved by it, it even brang tears to my eyes knowing that you really don’t want to be part in the bullying scene anymore. Back when we were in Junior High out of all the other 5-7 boys you are the only one who apologised. It’s amazing what 20 years and children can do to us, no? I hope you can be an amazing role model to your daughter and when you see bullying you stand up to it. Have a great!
- Chad.

It goes to show that it is never too late to ask for forgiveness.
