Farewell Miss.Ogram

Today is Miss.Ogram's last day at Glenbrae school, she spent 5 weeks at Glenbrae school in room 7, to teach us. She gave us cupcakes and individual cards as a token of appreciation and in return we showered her with cards and a bunch of beautiful flowers. We are very sad about her leaving and wish her the best at uni. Here is my letter that I had written to Miss.Ogram.

Hi Miss Ogram, Room 7 will miss you dearly, miss your teaching, your presence in our class, our fitness routines and well you!. You have been and are a stunning teacher, I just wish you can stay longer. You have helped me alot in all my curriculum areas including Maths, Reading, P.E and Writing. Your interesting teaching techniques have been very useful, one other thing I will miss the most!. Room 7 will never be the same without you around, and I hope you don’t get sad reading my Beautiful letter to you. On behalf of all of the room 7 students, we are extremely grateful and blessed that we had the opportunity to be taught for 5 weeks by an amazing, humble and talented teacher.  I hope you return to gbs or keep in touch with Mrs.Tofa. I wish you all the best for the future!.

-”I thank you for your part in my journey” and mine in yours <3

To the 26th member of Room 7 2017 <3

I hope to see you soon x and we love You very much

Why I want to be School Ambassador Letter

I was selected to compete for the role of Manaikalani Glen brae school ambassador, I and 2 other students(Cherise, Aaliyahna). We were instructed to come up with ideas on how to present information on Pollution, and we were also told to create a letter to Miss. Elia and Mrs .Raj giving reasons why we want to be school ambassador. Here is the letter I had written.

The Principal

Glenbrae School

Dear Miss Elia/Mrs.Raj, I would like to thank you for selecting me to compete for the role of the Manaiakalani ambassador of Glenbrae school. I would love to be the school ambassador for the following reasons, being ambassador gives me a strong reputation which I would need when I attend college.  I believe that this role will open more opportunities and leader roles for me in college, if and when my school teachers learn that I was once an ambassador. This makes things easier for me in college, it would be like having a good resume. If you haven't heard already, Levi R, who was once a school ambassador at Glenbrae school, was offered the role of year 9 ambassador at Tamaki college.  The reason for this was because of his performance last year as school ambassador (His words). This influenced me to work even harder to be school ambassador.

I want to follow in my older sister’s footsteps and become the school ambassador to impress them as well as making them even more proud(Same goes with the rest of my family and principal, as well as my past teachers too, yes! you too Mrs. Raj). Over the years I have watched my older sisters take on important school roles such as school prefect. If I ever want to be a prefect, I would like to start off as an ambassador and carry on from there. I want to prove to my sisters that I am capable of receiving a role such as this. Coming from a family of 13, it is quite hard to grab my parents attention when my other siblings are keeping them busy. I know that when and if I get this special opportunity, I am going to be the centre of attention, which is probably gonna last a week or so but at least the spotlight will be on little old me;).

Being Ambassador gives me an opportunity to get involved in different types of work and develop my skills I have already as well as gain new ones. If I become school ambassador I will gain skills such as

• Public speaking
• Interpersonal skills
• Presentation skills
• Team work
• Networking

I know already that I am an expert (Not quite at that level)at public speaking, working together with other people, networking and communication skills. Though there is still much more for me to learn, which I am hoping that being a school ambassador will accomplish for me.  

Last but not least I would like to be school ambassador because I would become a more better influence to those in school, home and other schools as well. It would give me an good outlook from others, from the littlest of children to students/teachers and other adults. Being a good influence means as much to me then it is to be a school ambassador, just kidding both would mean the world to me. Though I know that I am already a good influence but I just want to expand my learning and skills to become an even greater influence.

I am going to commit to this role and work very hard to represent my school. I will work continuously and willingly to finish my projects and presentations that I would be working on to present, that is if I receive the role. Even if I do not receive the role of school ambassador, I am going support who ever it is representing our school and continue to work very hard on my presentations. If I were to become school ambassador it would be a deeply rewarding opportunity, it would mean the world to me if I become school ambassador. I hope i’ve shared enough information on why I want to be the Glenbrae school ambassador and convinced you that I am fit for this role. I support and agree to whoever you guys choose as school ambassador.

Sincere Regards, Luisa

Matariki Lights Festival Concert!!

Yesterday evening the Glenbrae school Sasa, Kapa Haka, Lip Sync Dance group, drum group and the Hula girls all performed at the Matariki lights festival. If you had attended yesterday then you would know that our performances were spectacular. All groups did great as well but as we all know the Lip Sync group worked it like Beyonce. My group was third to perform and we got more nervous as it got darker and more people gathered around the stage. As the Hula girls were up on the stage dancing the lights had turned on. It was an amazing view, full of colour screaming excitement. If you still want to attend the Matariki Festival the lights will still be on by Saturday night and that's when the fireworks come out and more performances. I wonder much lights it took to make the whole thing.

When it was our turn to dance, we shook it off and just had fun. Thank you teachers and parents who took their time off to attend and support our school. It really gave us more confidence knowing that we have such great supporters. Thank you and well done to our school for the amazing performances!!.
