Prize-Giving

Friday 14 December after morning-tea, there was a special event in the hall. PRIZE-GIVING. The final assembly for the year. The assembly where every student strives to receive an award.

I am proud to say I received 4 awards. The 100% attendance, Academic Achievement, Literacy award and to top it off  the Main Freight award.  Which made my parents super-duper proud of me. 

The 2012 St Pius X Catholic school Prize-giving, is my last ever prize-giving at St Pius. It was truly the most special and the one I will remember forever. 

Year8 Dinner- Poem

Masala was a fancy place to eat

that was where the year8's went to meet. 

Butter chicken was so divine

My taste buds were fine

But my teacher wouldn't let me drink wine

We took so many pictures

It was mixture of students and teachers

We had such a good time

but everyone had to say good bye

Virtues

Show your virtues everyday, and have determination it will lead your way.

Respect yourself, and those you meet

Be kind to people on the street

Always use the virtue honesty, because honesty is the best policy.

Camp 2012

Camp last week, were 3 days filled with laughter and joy. From arriving at Piha on Wednesday to leaving on Friday afternoon.

The 4 activities we did on the camp-grounds were Orienteering, Poles and Planks, Bush Skills and Archery. All four activities required us to think. 3 of the 4 required team work. Team work I am sure my team used. Team work, that allowed my team to get to know each other, including myself. Team work that allowed my team to bond. To form friendships.

We had many other activities.
-Walk to Piha Beach
-hike to Kitekite Falls
-Burma Trail

We had a Fashion Show, but instead of using your ordinary material we had to use newspaper and other re-usable things. Such as, cookie wrappers, and glad wrap. But out of everything we did, the best thing that happened, was getting to know everyone! Including those who weren't in my team.

I formed friendships with people I never thought one day I’ll be calling them my ‘friend’.

Water

Water is good for you

It’s good for me too

We drink it everyday

to wash the waste away

We keep our blood cells clean

Even though it can’t be seen

You can drink water from tanks, bottles and taps

after doing many laps

Fruit and veggies contain water too

and is good for me and you

Reflection Testing Week

This week has been very important. It was testing week. To me, I found this week just like every other end of the year testing week. We had a test every morning for the past 4 days. I found the maths test challenging. Maths has to be by far, my weakest subject. I found the reading test, the easiest. Reading is my favourite subject. Overall I’m very happy this week is over.
