A New Year A New Me... by Leanah

Hey there I'm Leanah! I am a year 8 student at Ruapotaka School. I'm 12 years of age and love to play netball. I personally love to read books about the holocaust and gather more information about it.

I have become one of the year 8 Prefects and this year I have been given the opportunity to become a responsible Manaiakalani School Ambassador! This means I will have to work hard to create slideshows to present to teachers from other schools. 

Throughout the year I am going to work hard to try to improve myself as much as I can.

Welcome 2019! by Jessica

"Out with the old and in with the new."

It is officially 2019. This year will be very different and full of new learning opportunities and experiences. Our new Principal, Mrs Hamilton has adjusted herself to her new role very smoothly. 

2019 is going to be a very busy and hard year for me. I must push myself further to reach new heights. Also as an addition to this, I need to start thinking about what college I want to enroll in. 

I hope this year will be filled with happiness, joy and excitement.
