My School
The school that we go to is Aorere College and it is located in Manukau. Aorere College is a great school to be learning at. Our school has a motto saying "virtus caelum recludit," meaning that character opens the gateway to heavens. Many opportunities arise during the time you spend at Aorere, these opportunities may only come if you perform well in most school areas. Most of the students that you'll find at Aorere are well behaved and and mostly all of them have positive attitude towards learning and school...Below are some of the pictures of our school (Aorere College), our schools logo/emblem and a class with students working real hard to get a project/ assignment completed. We chose these pictures because they look perfect to describe to you guys of how and what Aorere College is like.



My Community
The communities that we live in are Papatoetoe which is an old town in Manukau and Mangere which is the birth place of the first leisure centre in Manukau. Below are some pictures of the new railway station in Papatoetoe, the Mangere mountain with a wonderful view of some houses in Mangere and one of the shopping malls known as Hunters Plaza. We chose the new railway because it looks quite nice, the Mangere Mountain because if you stand at the top, you get a lovely view of Mangere and Hunters Plaza to give everyone an idea of what some of our malls or shopping centres look like.

We chose these photos of Auckland because the look superb and like i mentioned before in our paragraph...breath taking... and the Manukau city logo because that is the motto of Manukau and it best represents the city that we live in.

Our country is a great place. As most of you might know that the capital of New Zealand is Wellington and it is located right at the bottom of te North Island. There are many great places to visit in New Zealand and some are breath taking. Our native animal is the Kiwi, which is now extinct.The Maori way of greeting people is to touch the other person's nose with your nose and it is known as the hongi. Our flag has the union jack on it and has four stars on it emphasise New Zealand's location in the south pacific ocean. Above are the pictures of New Zealand's flag, the map of New Zealand, some miscallaneous pictures of the cultures and sceneries of New Zealand and a picture of a Kiwi bird. We chose thes photo's because the flag is an important thing to a country and we wanted to make sure that everyone knows what New Zealand's flag looks like, the kiwi because its a very cute native animal to NZ which is now extinct, the miscallaneous pictures to show what the cultures and sceneries of NZ look like, a map of NZ so that everyone knows which part we live in and last but not the least the All Black Silver Fern because the All Blacks Rock!!
