My School


PICTURE 1: I chose this picture because it is the emblem of our school. The emblem is like the definition or our school. Our school strives to become the best we can be. Aorere College is a school consisting of many different ethnicities from different countries. Our teachers create a safe environment for us to learn. We welcome all students whether they are from a different country. We use alot of technology in our learning which is cool because it makes learning fun and also because we can apply all the technology we use to reality. Many opportunities are given to those at our school who succeed such as camps and trips. Aorere College has many sports that students at our school can participate in like Soccer, rugby, basketball, netball and many more. Various subjects are available at Aorere College. For instance Science, Maths, Social Studies, Technology, music, ICT and heaps more. Our school library is a cool place to study with helpful assistants, books and computers. It almost makes the library a second home. The latin words ‘virtus Caelum Reculdit’ means Character opens the way to the heavens. I think those words are what our school really is. I would just like to conclude with what our principle says at every assembly. "If you get the little things right, the big things fall in place by themselves" I think that is what our school really thrives on.

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: Our school thrives on sucess. There are a lot of things you can achive if your attend our school even if you are academically challenged. You can participate in sport teams or join culutre groups. Or you can join dance groups internationall science groups or just help around the community by joining the leos. The opportunities are endless. We have staff members who cater for your every need and help you along the way and keep you on track. This school offers a lot of scholarships and not only the ones for academic achivement. Even some of the best rubgy players in the world started their carreres in our school. This school really does cater for all your need but at the end of the day its is all up to you. The staff are here to assist but not to force and that is one of the best things about our school.

PICTURE 1: I chose the first picture because it portrays one of the most famous landmarks in the Papatoetoe region and everyone from Old Papatoetoe is familiar with it. It truly shows the old origins of this suburb and it shows the ingenuity of the settlers of this area. This building is still significant to many because it is now used for meetings of the churches and also just used for casual functions. This image sums up the vintage origins of this place that I call home.

PICTURE 2: This photo is a contrast to the other one because it shows the new and developing Papatoetoe and shows how much this suburb has progresed over the years and is still progressing. It is also significant because it is one of the primary ways people come into and leave Papatoetoe. For me this represents the ever-lasting future of Papatoetoe and just as these train tracks have lasted centuries so will our home town.

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: I live in the suburb of Papatoetoe it's quite large for a suburb. Almost everyone who comes to New Zealand in a plane will have heard of it because it is only 10 minutes away from the International airport. It is a quiet old town and is full of it ancient roots. The old town hall is still standing and so is the old train station (see above). There are a lot of vintage buildings in our town but there are also lots of modern ones. One of the newest complex is the Hunters corner area. It is the towns' largest structure devoted completely to shopping.

My City
PICTURE 1: This picture shows one of the best events in New Zealand. It is the Ellerslie flower show. This show happens every year and lasts for 5 days in November. It really shows the taste of the people living here in Manukau. This show is known all over the world but its very weird that its called the ELLSERLIE flower show even though its in MANUKAU.

PICTURE 2: This shows the prestigious Manukau harbour alongside all the hills and even some of the auckland airport. This scene was and still is very significant for me because it was the first thing I saw in New Zealand as I arrived here on a plane. This is the second biggest harbour in New Zealand and the Sixth biggest in the world by area. This represents Manukau very well because many many years ago this used to be a very large source of food for the native Maori who first colonized New Zealand and Manukau.

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: Manukau is the city of many cultures. It is one of the first city people visit when they arrive in New Zealand. There are many small suburbs in this large, busy city. Some of the larger ones are Otara, Manukau CDB, Papatoetoe, Mangere and Mangere bridge. Manukau is located in the area of Auckland the city of sails. There is bussiness everywhere in the CBD. There is a huge shopping area called Westfield which is kind of like Wall Mart of the USA and there are many other shops for bargain hunters, not to mention all the stalls of the "flea market" where people can get the chance to sell their old goods without being a licenced buissness.

My Country
PICTURE 1: This picture portrays the natural and undisturbed beauty of New Zealand. In the foreground you can see a dense forest which opens up to reveal a tranquill lake and a peaceful setting. This, to me, is what New Zealand is all about. A calm and peacefull place where you can come in terms with your true potential, a place shrouded by mystery but in in fact so beautiful. This is not only significant for our country but for individual people as well because this picture portrays more than New Zealand, it portrays life. Where after all those years building up for it (the forest) you finally reach your goal in life (the lake). That is what New Zealand offers.

PICTURE 2: This picture is a complete opposite to the one before. It shows the largest free standing sturcture in all of the souther hemisphere. It looks similar to the CN tower in Toronto. This is an icon that someone will find very hard to forget. It has a rotating restaurant at the top and there is a ladder running all the way down its side so that you can literally climb to the top. It is 328 metres high and boasts a massive weight of 20000 tones so its not going anywhere in a hurry. This is very significant to New Zealand because it is a big puller of tourists and also because it shows our technological advancement. It seems amazing that this massive infrastructure took only 2 years and nine months to complete and the records dont stop there. There is an antenna at the top of it which broadcasts 17 different stations. SEVENTEEN. Most other antennae can only manage up to nine! This once again proves how technologically advanced New Zealand is.

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: New Zealand in the native maori tounge means land of the long white cloud and this cloud certainly has a lot of opportunites for everyone. New Zealand is one of the best developed countries in the world and is still continuing to develope. New Zealand is one of the safest places to live in the world. The air is clean and because its so isolated diseases cannot enter it. We are also nuclear free which means we dont use nuclear for anything although a guy from our country invented it. New Zealand is split into two halves. The north island and the south island. Each island has its pros and cons. The south island is more spacious than the north but life can be tough there. The north is slightly more poluted than the south but life goes on by considerbly easily. New Zealand has a population of about 4 million people and there is enough room for everyone. That is what I like about New Zealand. You have your own room to grow and develop as a person and I think that a lot of countries are missing that.
