Collaborative Challenge - Budget of $200

This week for math we were given a challenge to complete together as a group. We were given a budget of $200 to do a weekly grocery shop for our maths group. We used an abundance of money to provide our group with enough healthy food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for one week. The challenging part was trying to decide what dinner was going to be, because most of us thought of different ideas, but at the end we chose which one was the best and cheapest.

Explanation: Why I should be an asset to McAuley High School?

Why I should be an asset to McAuley High School?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like going to college? Or even thought about leaving primary too soon? Well I have. I chose to go McAuley and most interestingly I got accepted. I am willing to become one of McAuley's head prefects, especially because I have talents in myself that people don't see. 

However, this year I am the 2019 Head Girl of Panmure Bridge School. Out of school bounds I play rugby, touch and tag for different clubs. Last year I played for Howick Hornets u13 girls and won 2018 premierships. I played prop and left wing. Next year I am planning to play rugby, tag, netball and touch for school, but also club. During school hours, I have had the capability of showing Confidence, Attitude, Respect, Excellence and Innovation, as they are the values that we believe in - Our  whakatauki: Manaaki Whenua, Manaaki Tangata, Haera Whakamau - Care for the land, Care for the people, Go forward. The opportunities that are offered at McAuley gives me the chance to excel my learning to a higher expectation. I have represented my school in all sports, cultural events, and competitions like the: Summer/Winter learning journey. 

I believe that McAuley will help me achieve my academic goals, and to become a better person in the future. McAuley is a school that I was interested in going to, especially because both my parents work around Otahuhu. I have heard a lot of positive things about the sisterhood that happens in McAuley, especially the unbreakable bond that goes on. I am proud to be apart of the Catholic Religious, because we celebrate Christ through his Mercy. I know that I will be able to dominate McAuley’s school values, by respecting the environment, celebrating everyone’s talents, and to have pride in everything I do, which means I believe that McAuley is a school full of faith, hope, and love.

McAuley has a number of responsibilities and school values that students are required to follow. The activities that are selected, is what I believe I can cope with. Outside of school hours I take private piano lessons with my piano teacher every week. I just started this year and beginning to gain more knowledge. My practise happens everyday for from 5-6. I believe that being a confident piano player will encourage me to join McAuley's instrumental and choir group. I too is apart of the children's choir group at church.

We sing every Tuesday and sometimes on a Sunday mass. At the end of every year we always get the opportunity to perform our music to people who live in rest homes. I am expected to say my verse at the end/start of the day and one of my family favourite verses which I learn by heart: Psalms 27:4 - “ One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord, and to seek him in his temple. 

Domine in te speravi

Lord, in you I have hoped. 

Explanation: " Show respect, get respect "

" Show respect, get respect "

Respect, empathy, kindness, attitude and tolerance? Hmmmm, what are these words? What do they mean? These words are called Qualities. Qualities are features that someone / something has. It may sound strange, but they do have a special meaning behind it. Have a think. Have you ever used one of them? if so when and why? Although, our school is a digital learning environment we have 4 values that we follow. Confidence, attitude, respect and excellence and innovation. 

Respect? What does respect mean to you? Respect means caring for someone the way that you would. Showing respect is an important quality, because it can be given and received easily. There has always been that time, where you may not like someone, which I understand, but showing respect is required, because having it in yourself shows others that you are able to care for a person's needs/feelings.

Do you have a best friend? I have a best friend that I care for, especially, because in return I know that she cares for me too. " Show respect, get respect " is a phrase that I get given all the time. Why, because it is a really true statement. If respect is shown, it will be given back. In many cultures, individuals are required to be worthy for each other. 

Respect is shown in many different languages / ways. For instance, it is disrespectful for Tongans to play, dance and work on a Sunday, because we believe that it is important to we keep the Sabbath day holy.In all Tongan schools girls are required to have their hairs platted in two's with a coloured ribbon. In Tongan culture, it is disrespectful for girls to wear shorts during prayers, because their showing too much of their body, but in return it is disrespectful for boys to spread their legs around during prayers. 

Respect, empathy, kindness, attitude and tolerance? Hmmmm, what are these words? What do they mean? These words are called Qualities. Qualities are features that someone / something has. It may sound strange, but they do have a special meaning behind it. Now, think. Have you ever used one of them? if so when and why? Remember this: " Show respect, get respect "

Early Maori Enterprise

Enterprise and Economics was first introduced, by our Maori ancestors, before the Europeans settled in New Zealand. Coastal Maori sold Seafood (Kaimoana), while the Inlands preserved birds and berries. The Maori's would often trade valuable items, not knowing it's true value. Maori had grew a number of plants that had been bought by the first arrivals. By the 19th century Maori's ownership passed out.
