If I was in charge of our school...
If I was in charge of our school I would...
I would not only have whanau competitions but also class competitions.This would occur during lunchtimes or P.E sessions and students will have to wear P.E uniforms.These competitions would involve sports and challenges. This would be for year 9's only. It would be a great way for them to meet and bond with other students from others classes. Knowing other students from other classes would also be extremely helpful for year 9's when they become year 10's they could benefit from that because they will already know the students they are with already when they change classes every period which makes the start of the year easier and less stressful for them.
If I was in charge of our school I would add a swimming pool so that students could learn how to swim. Our school could then also be involved in swimming competitions with other schools. Our community could also benefit from our swimming pool during the summer or school holidays. It would be a positive feature for our school, but we would also need a lifeguard where senior students could apply for if they need a job.
If I was in charge of our school I would make the lunchtimes longer than 30 minutes so that the whanau and class competitions will be longer and students will have enough time to get back to class on time. Also so that students could do extra things during this time, especially seniors who would need it the most for exam preparations or their busy schedules.

Term 3 holidays :)
My holidays
Last term was very full on and we had a lot of homework and I couldn't wait until the holidays because school was stressing me out. I would always come home from school to prepare for the next day even though I was always tired and just wanted to sleep. So the best part of my holidays would definitely be relaxing. I enjoyed sleeping in and sitting on the couch with my family and watching the rugby every weekend. It was also fun just hanging out with my friends, especially the ones who I haven't seen or talked to in a while. Although now the holidays are nearly over and I can't wait to get the next/last term of the year over and done with so that I can have fun in the summer holidays :)

The internet is a dangerous place
The Internet is a dangerous place but I believe that when used safely and correctly it proves to be helpful and useful.
When roaming the Internet you will find that its a very powerful tool and sometimes in a not so positive way. Even though it is a great place to meet new people, and keep in touch with others it can develop to cause negative things that not only you can see but also everybody else who is your friend. Cyberbullying is a common issue that young people are having in the 21st century due to socializing sites being very popular. A great tip to having a safe place on socializing sites is to be sure to choose your friends carefully and if you don't make sure to unfriend and block them immediately so that they do not keep making your socializing space a negative place.
Having Internet around young children can influence their knowledge of things in so many ways. It makes everything so much funner and easier to have these days, but what if they accidentally access something inappropriate? Of course this can all happen at a click of a button. What are you gonna do? No worries you can always block these inappropriate websites with these easy steps:
1. Load your Internet explorer
2. Click Tools
3. Click Internet Options
4. Click the Privacy tab
5. Under the Privacy window, Click Sites
6. Type in the site address that you want to Block and Click OK. Remember this technique only blocks on one site at a time. Parental control software will allow you to block multiple sites and categories.

The Internet is such a helpful and useful place to be all the time whether its to do with doing your homework or even doing your shopping. Its really easy and can save you so much time. So how can that be dangerous? But you never know at a touch of a button you can suddenly end up having a virus that can destroy your computer in seconds. So be sure to recognise fake ads or anything you think might look weird. Don't believe everything you see on it because you never know whats gonna happen or where its gonna make you end up.
My conclusion is that the Internet can be 100% safe if you know how it works and how to use it. Plus its super helpful in multiple ways :)
