My Last Year :'(


This year at Point England School is my final year at this wonderful school. The things that I really love about this school is the high-tech machines that we use. Also, my friends have been a huge influence on me. They have helped me carry on when times were hard.

            For 8 years I have been at this school. Through out the time I have developed skills and have been given huge opportunities. We have gone to heap of places. I will always remember these moments at P.E. My favourite moment this year was the year 8 camp, because it was the only thing we did this year.



Most of my life has been spent at P.E. I am really going to miss the teachers and the students. When I leave to go to Auckland Boys Grammar School, my memories will never fade away. When I’m older I want to visit P.E and tell stories of my life to Mr Burt and the teachers. Striving to succeed is certainly what I am going to do.

2013 Netbook Refelction


 As time has gone by technology has changed . For example, we now use high tech fashioned netbooks and iPads in our class and many of us pretty much have moved on from using pencil and paper.

Using net books and digital technology this year has helped me to learn more. The wifi connection has helped me with my math subject just by using online math websites, like Math Whizz and XtraMath. Both math websites have mainly taken care of that subject for me.

I've learnt from my self in my class about the technical skills we are able to access.Having a netbook makes my dream of being a computer programmer a little bit more easier. It is very easy to run terminal commands known as the shell prompt. I personally find using terminal a whole lot of fun and finding things out about the system really fun.

Year Eight Camp


Year 8 camp was build ups as. I was so excited to go camp, I even got up early to go camp. When I arrived at school I found that everyone was in the hall ready to go. We left for the bus and I choose the one that look the most comfortable. I knew that the ride was gonna take ages so I tried to sleep the whole way.


 As we arrived to camp we were in our groups. My group was called the anonymous my team leader was Tana and our Parent was Timmy Jaylee’s mum. In our group my mains were Tana,Dillon, Marvin,Jaylee,Mary L. I thought that we would have a good chance of winning.

 My highlight of the camp was going to the luge. The Luge was one of the best things i’d ever done. At first I was confident but I didn’t want to crash it would be embarrassing.As I went zooming down the hill I past Max around the first corner, as I was fast aprroaching Melvin I pasthim with ease then I got to Tau he moved to the side to make it easier for me to pass. Kimberley was the last person for me to pass so I hit the “gas pedal” and gased her to the end.

My worst thing was waking up early to go for a run. It was alright but then again we could have gotten sick running around in that weather. But us students were totally grateful for the camp that was organised by Mrs Nua & Camp was cool you gotta admit it, it was way better than staying back at school (:

Nelson Mandela


 Nelson Mandela a name known all around the world. With the tragic death of Nelson Mandela, the world has lost a great leader and a great man.  Many people say that “Nelson Mandela saved South Africa from a civil war” between the blacks and whites. In my eyes he mended the broken together not just in South Africa but all around the world.


  I wasn't alive to his life changing moments but I’ve heard many of his quotes. This quote really gets me “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” My Interpretation of this is that a one educated person can change the face of this world for good.
