Manaiakalani Ambassador Presentation

Today as the Manaiakalani Ambassador of Glenbrae School, I have presented a piece of work which was my very first presentation as the Ambassador.

How does a School Operate? (Short Explanation)

How does a School Operate!

Introduction : What is a school, to be precise? - you may be wondering. Well, A school is a type community where children, from many ages attend school and learn. Teachers teach students to help form knowledge and teacher aides/ staff members help to operate the school. How and what is the best way to operate a school - being exact, you’ll need to read closely and identify the best ways.

Paragraph 1 : Children from many ages attend school to learn and take up any knowledge that teachers teach, yes there are teachers. Children now are called students and they learn about different topics, depending on what topics they are given. Students learn by participating in all different ways, but student also need special abilities which they are capable of doing, including listening skills and definitely participation experience. Now, onto teachers. Teachers are a special key to operating a school as they are assigned to teach students about the specific topics if it may be about sustainability or just casual topics.

Paragraph 2 : For a school to operate successfully, you would need staff members (Teacher Aides, Office workers, social workers and volunteers). Staff members are also very important to help schools operate as schools need all the help we can get and especially support. Being supportive  will encourage the students to continuously work hard to the best of their ability. Teacher Aides will help the teachers and students with any work while social workers work in separate offices and sometimes create a programme for students to attend and have fun. Volunteers are different, as similar towards teachers aides, just that volunteers visit school not at occasionally as Teacher Aides.

Paragraph 3 : In a fully functional school, equipment is needed. Especially chromebooks, learning materials and sports equipment. Instead of using a book and pencil for Reading, Writing and Maths, there is a more efficient way by using chromebooks (A digital device for learning). The chromebooks are a great way for students to Create a learning access and share it between the local school areas and as well as global. What other types of equipment is needed, (again, you may be wondering) well, not only do we need chromebooks, sports and reading, writing and reading equipment is needed. Sports equipment is a fun activity for students during interval and lunch.

Media Team Application Letter

8 March 2017

The Deputy Principal

Glenbrae School

103 Leybourne Circle

Glen Innes

Auckland

Thank you Mrs Raj for giving several students the chance to become a member of the Media Team, that is an amazing opportunity and I am so privileged.

I would like to express my strong interests in becoming a member of the media team at Glenbrae School. I do have some previous experience on being a strongly active media team member, but perhaps I could adapt and learn more about technology. I have some logics which you shall consider for this role. I have been in love with Technology for quite some time now, but adapting is not entirely on my agenda, although I would like it to. I have some unique skills which can come in handy for a movie, etcetera. I may not be able to set up the Music systems for assembly, there are regular compliments saying i’m a very fast learner.

I would like to keep this letter simple but also slightly complex. But, I am also very confident that my experience as well as my ability to collaborate and communicate would help make myself a very strong competitor. Thank you for your consideration and time.

Yours Sincerely,

Aaliyahna

House Captain Application Letter

7 March 2017

The Principal

Glenbrae School

103 Leybourne Circle

Glen Innes

Auckland

Dear Miss Elia. Firstly I would like to thank you for an opportunity of becoming a Nikau House Captain.

As you may know, I am writing to apply for the position of the Nikau House Captain. I am confident that I will be able to achieve being a successful house captain. I will assure that my peers have a more amusing time while I am in the Nikau house captain position. The following reasons will determine why you could consider my request. I believe that if I become the house captain of Nikau, my confidence levels would rise, especially considering that I am the Manaiakalani Ambassador of Glenbrae School. Becoming more confident is definitely a struggle, but ever since the Manaiakalani Ambassador has passed my table, my confidence is growing and soonly (maybe) adding the Nikau House Captain role would help widely.

I love being an inspiring role model towards younger students and being the the intellectual I am, I would like to use my skills to help students form respect which will benefit towards later life. Although I may not be as “aged” as many role models, becoming a young role model would be amazing. All my life, I would continuously say to myself “Will I ever become something valuable like a role model”. Yes, everyday, I doubted myself until, I was motivated by, staff members, students, parents and family, which forced me continue being motivated.

My final reason towards becoming the Nikau house captain is my enthusiasm towards learning and definitely house sports. I consider myself as a very competitive person who likes a great challenge and is very supportive. I believe that I will set a great example for some of the younger students attending Glenbrae School. Since Glenbrae has been learning about Fairplay (Actually, quite a while ago), I will remember to add being a good winner and loser.

Although I did doubt myself, I have changed and became impeccable. I am determined, hard working, enthusiastic and competitive which may suit for this position. If you do not pick myself, I will still support and be happy with your decision.

Yours Sincerely,

Aaliyahna.

Ambassador Opportunity Letter : Glenbrae School

The Principal

Glenbrae School

Dear Miss Elia & Mrs Raj

I would like to individually thank you both for giving myself an opportunity of a lifetime.

The Manaiakalani Ambassador of Glenbrae School would be an absolute dream come true.

My accomplishments on being a leader is not entirely perfect, but, as you would know, nobody's perfect. To be fair, I would never think negatively, so I think I am impeccable for this leadership role.

Towards being the Manaiakalani Ambassador, I have quite a few reasons why I should become the Ambassador. You may know that, I have been at Glenbrae School for several years, have received quite a few Top Academic Awards and have been a leader throughout my amazingly beautiful, years here at Glenbrae. I would now, finally love to give back to the school by becoming the Manaiakalani Ambassador of Glenbrae School and representing Glenbrae proudly and definitely eagerly.

Stepping outside of my comfort zone and being confident was always a big problem during my previous years at Glenbrae, as I was always very shy. The job as an Ambassador would definitely help my situation and also with enormous life decisions. Although I may not be attending Tamaki College, being the Manaiakalani Ambassador of Glenbrae School, would help my acceptance into Auckland Girls Grammar School.  My final logic is about myself becoming an inspiring Role Model, considering there are many younger students attending Glenbrae who could benefit from this. I believe I have always set good examples, I am passionate, approachable, determined, motivated and genuine.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Aaliyahna ~ Hoping to be “Future Manaiakalani Ambassador”

Water Pollution in Glenbrae School

Room 7 decided to do some researching inside Glenbrae School and explore what our school has in store for us. Room 7 were determined to search through drains and see how much rubbish Glenbrae stores into the drains, which lead into Water Pollution. After a while peeking through the drains of Glenbrae, Room 7 noticed that there were a lot of packaged food items. Multiple food packages were found not only in the drain, but all around the bright green grass. Mrs Tofa, took some pictures and about what type of rubbish is lurking inside our drains. Before Mrs Tofa decided for Room 7 to go outside searching for rubbish, she discussed creating a movie, slideshow or poster. Here is a few pictures on what type of rubbish Glenbrae had.

Sustainability ~ Water Pollution

It’s not too late to be cleaning up the streams and rivers, from pollution.

My perspective is about Water Pollution. How would this earth be with all the pollution in our Streams & Rivers. Many people just don’t care about what they are doing with their rubbish, the rubbish may be including fast foods or even just rubbish from local supermarkets. The worst thing about rubbish and water pollution is that all the sea life is being affected with all the rubbish. For example, a turtle had a long straw in it’s nostrils, I was very terrified while hearing this. Now it would be time for myself to answer some question.

1. What is Water Pollution?

~ Water Pollution is chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water, which give a critical effect. It will affect, whoever drinks from it and whatever lives inside it. Water Pollution is dangerous for all around the world, and needs to be stopped immediately.
