The Senior Social

With a fun and inviting entrance I was ready to get my groove on. Mrs Tele’a and the prefects of our school had put together a yr 7 & 8 social. It went from 6pm to 8pm. The theme was black and white.

As I walked into the hall I saw flashing lights and a great atmosphere to be around. Everybody was having fun, dancing around and being crazy. I was shy to dance, but when everybody enthusiastically invited me to dance I started to dance crazingly. We had a dougie contest, Mary represented the girls and Nezinli represented the boys. They were OUTSTANDING dancers. At the end of all this Nezinli had won the dougie contest, but Mary never left empty handed.

The best thing I liked about the social was that I got to spend time with my friends. My bestie Brooke is going Australia soon so I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her until she leaves. I took lots and lots of photos and danced with people who were exciting and fun to be around. Then one of my favourite songs played, Party and bull. Every single person I look at was up on the dance-floor doing their thing. You could see the glow-in-the-dark bands waving in the air and heaps of people jumping up and down.

I had the most amazing time at the social all thanks to Mrs Tele’a, the prefects, Sylvia, Seini-Mino, Selena, Toreka, Samson, Joe and to Mr Tele’a and Tanielu for the the BBQ. I wish this wasn’t my last year at Pt England School, But sadly it is. The positive side is that I get to start college and meet new friends. Anyways thanks again to those people who made this social happen.

Olympic Day........



“Yay!” people said as they sprinted towards the hall, getting saturated in the rain. It was for our senior olympic day where we got to do some activities for the first bit of the morning while the teachers were having a look around at the junior area.  As house captain of Te Arawa I was already in the hall giving out the papers and getting my group sorted.

Well one of my favourite activities was when our group went to Mr J (tall) to watch movies. “We are gonna go back in time to 4 years ago and watch a movie” Mr J said in a commentator voice. I was wondering what we were gonna watch then he mentioned the toy shop. While we were watching the movie I could see myself on the projector, and so could everyone else. I was so embarrassed.

Another one of my favourite activities was when we went to the other Mr J (short) in the staff room. We did singstar, my favourite thing to do at home. I had a turn singing with Toko. When I won they were saying that I won by humming because they never heard me singing. I had won by miles and our group, Te Arawa 1 scored 75 points against Tainui 1 scoring nothing. I was very happy with my group and all the effort they put into winning.

At the of the rotations I was very happy with my group. I think they had done really well and can’t wait till we spend the next morning together as a group.

Tommy Kapai Wilson...

“Kia ora bro”  Tommy said in a funny version. The first thing that made me interested in his story was when he was talking like a maori and saying kik bak words.  He was a very interesting guy and straight up.

One of his dad’s rules when they were little was they had to make 10 people happy a day, and that there wasn’t allowed any violence in the house or around them. Nowadays Tommy still goes around with his little 7 year old daughter and goes in the supermarket and tries to make 20 people happy. If they don’t make the counter person happy they go back around the supermarket until they make him happy.

One of his first jobs that he ever started was a dishwashing job in Mt Ruapehu. He washed over 300 peoples dishes.
