Year 8 roles and responsibilities!

As a year 8, I will need to be a perfect role model to the year 7’s in HHS. I will also need to use the CARR values wherever I go and represent HHS. My responsibilities are, keeping our environment neat and tidy for all students and staff. Charging my Chromebook everyday so, it’s ready for learning and to be kind at the right place in the right time. My role is mostly to be a student and, to connect with others that are in my class and around me.

Festival Of the Arts - Rafiki In Real Life!

So today I got a chance to sing some parts in the song circle of life, but I'm still Rafikis understudy just in case. I was really excited and I'm pretty sure I did very well.

I have a lot of culture pieces of clothing that I could bring to make my costume of Rafiki. I also have this dark brown spiral necklace that my mum got from Samoa, which I'm going to wear in the musical.

I am also a barb singer. I'm singing some parts in 'Circle of Life' and a little bit of 'Can't wait to be King'. There are high notes in the song 'Can't wait to be King' that I will be singing and I am trying my best to hit those notes.

Again, I am so excited to play and perform as Rafiki in the musical!

Young Leaders Day!

I had a great opportunity to go to this year 7 leadership program at Christs College which I found out is a all boys school. I was picked as one of the 10 year 7 students to go and represent our school, Hornby High School!

What I really enjoyed in the year 7 leadership program is that I go to meet new people and have a friendship connection with them from other different schools. And the food as well! 

There was a guy called Cam that spoke after the introduction of the program. Picking up the key things from his experience that I know was, we should never give up and use resilience.

I learnt that I should never let anyone stop me from achieving my dreams and stand up for myself and be more confident. 

I am really proud for those 10 year 7 students who got chosen to represent our school!

Festival of the Arts - Getting Into Character!

Rafikis Understudy!

So today we got to find out we is our role in the musical theatre. I found out that I am a understudy of the character Rafiki.

An understudy is kind of like a back up character. For example: Pretend someone broke there arm and couldn't play the role of Rafiki. That is where I come in and fill in for that person.

But if I did get a chance I might wanna look like this:



In Rafikis role, he does the opening of the musical theatre and starts singing the song, Circle Of Life. What I think Rafikis job is to carry the Pride Lands history. Another fact you should know if you do not know who is Rafiki, he is a animal called a Mandrill.

I hope you like this post and please comment for any questions what so ever.

Uru Manuka Logo!

This is my logo. The white shapes are petals which stands for the Manuka flower and the red in the background is also based on the Manuka flower. There are 7 petals which means there are 7 schools in this cluster. And I put Uru Manuka in the middle because, the 7 schools are connected to this cluster. 

I hope you like this logo (:
