C.A.R.E Award Achievement|Silver & Gold

This year was an amazing year of learning in LS2. As part of learning in LS2 we do C.A.R.E (Confidence, Attitude, Respect, Excellence & Innovation) Awards. We do different actives that are based on the 4 C.A.R.E Awards. For example if I'm doing a task on Respect. One of the task will be research a respectful leader in NZ. Last week Jeremiah and I have been awarder our last C.A.R.E Award which means we've finished the whole C.A.R.E Award task. This includes our Silver C.A.R.E Awards and Gold C.A.R.E Awards. I am very proud of myself as one of the School leaders to finish the whole C.A.R.E task. 

Teaching Someone A New Skill|Gold Attitude C.A.R.E Award

As one of my Gold Attitude C.A.R.E Awards I was to tutor someone with a new skill they haven't learnt. Today I have taught one of my peers Joseph how to solve Exponents. Hopefully next year he can use this learning in his maths lessons. The best thing I liked about teaching Joseph was that he learnt how to solve exponent equations quickly. If you don't know what an exponent looks like look at the pictures above. Maths is Joseph's favourite subject which amazed me. At the start of the lesson he worked really well and listened to every thing I told him. Joseph also learnt how to solve algebra equations with Sanujan.

Gold Attitude C.A.R.E Award - Respect Leader/David Lange

As part of Self Management I've finished one of my Gold Attitude C.A.R.E Award which is based on a respected leader. The task was to research a New Zealander who has a positive attitude despite difficulties they have faced. I decided to choose David Lange. David Lange was New Zealand 32nd Prime Minister and served from 1984 to 1989. He is an inspirational man and had to overcome huge obstacles and barrier such as fighting for the Member of Parliament for Hobson electorate which he lost. David Lange never gave up his chances and later he won the Mangere seat by landslide. Landslide is when someone get an enormous majority of votes for their party or to become Prime Minister. He also was elected as the leader for the labor party. In 1984 he then was elected as prime minister for New Zealand. We thank him for his bravery and introducing the 'No Nukes' policy meaning that Americans would never sail nuclear ships into New Zealand's water. This was to keep the peace between America and New Zealand. 

National Young Leader Day Reflection

National Young Leader Day (aka) is a remarkable event that helps build many student leadership skills. This was an amazing opportunity for 6 leader from our school to go to this event because we heard amazing stories about people who overcame social barriers. People such as Lisa Tamati, Amanda Wilson, Riley Hathaway were some people who inspired me, saying don't be afraid of being different from others and don't let others put you down. The person who was the most inspirational for me was Riley Hathaway because she looked after marine life animals and is determined to keep the ocean clean. She said that everyone can face their fears and overcome their obstacles by believing in themselves. At the end of the event we were lucky to have Vince Harder who is a New Zealand pop recording artist. He had inspired a lot of people with his singing. He left a powerful message saying to always follow you personal passion, achieve it to the end, and gain information about what you want to be in the future.

Football Inter school - Gold Attitude

Attitude is one of our school values and a lot of people show this quality during school but also when representing our school in outside functions such as NYLD (National Young Leaders Day) or sports inter schools. For one of my C.A.R.E award I made a DLO talking about the Football Inter School that happened recently this term. Our teams showed a lot of our school values especially showing respect to other school teams. We also showed a lot of Confidence and pride in our games and represented out school in a positive way. At the end our school had amazing results as one of the year 7 & 8 team came 1st place and our year 5 & 6 team came 3rd place. In our school everyone plays a variety of sports but soccer the most best sport in our school and also some peoples most personal passion. As most of us know the FIFA world cup is happening this year in Russia and most teams are getting good results. 

My Personal Passion - Excellence & Innovation

Many people embrace a lot of sports and rugby is one of those sports that many people play or watch. For one of my Excellence & Innovation task I was to create a DLO explaining what my personal passion is. People have a lot of personal passion such as playing soccer, singing, learning about war, play video games but my personal passion that has sticked with me for a long time is watching NRL. NRL stands for National Rugby League. NRL is a league of professional men's rugby league teams in Australia and New Zealand. For those who don't know there is 15 NRL teams from Australia and one team for New Zealand which is the Vodafone Warriors. I love watching NRL from a really young age and still love it. I really love watching NRL because it gives me unique skills for my rugby games such as knowing how to tackle, pass and run. 

Mrs Linda (Mentor) - Gold Excellence & Innovation

 

For one of my C.A.R.E award task I was to make a DLO talking about a mentor in our school. I decided to talk about a hard working mentor name Mrs Linda. Her hard work is appreciated in our class and students really like the way she makes our learning enjoyable. Mrs Linda helps student from year 5-8 with difficulties in learning areas such as Reading, Maths, Writing and also help teacher with their duties. Mrs Linda shows many qualities to all students and teachers and shows great sense of humor. I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Linda for all her participation into our learning and her hard work towards helping students and teachers.   

Academic Achievements - Gold Excellence & Innovation

For one of my C.A.R.E award tasks I was to create a DLO writing all my academic achievements. I have done a lot of things this term such as representing my school at the Manaikalani Ambassador showcase which is where other Manaikalani cluster schools come together and share their work. I always try to perform the best I can in every area of learning and sports. The most fearless academic achievements I've overcame is presenting my work to big audience. When I first started presenting my work to audience last year I was a bit sheepish, but right now I have a high level of confidence and will present my work to the best I can. I am also proud of myself because I have 7 badges which is my silver: Confidence, Attitude, Respect, Excellence & Innovation and I have got my gold Respect badge. I got my Manaikalani Ambassador badge and also the NYLD (national young leaders day) badge.
