Hello
from 8CM!
We are a year 8 class from Saint Kentigern Collegewhich
is in Pakuranga, East Auckland. Saint Kentigern College
is a Presbyterian College and is of a Scottish heritage.
We have 25 girls in our class and our teacher is Mr. Watts.
Our College is a co-ed school that ranges from year 7- 13.Throughout
the year our class has done many worthwhile activities,
such as 40 hour famine, Operation Christmas child, Cancer
Society Daffodil day and SPCA. We hope we can help with
this project and we are looking forward to working with
you.
Hi,
we are the 24 boys from 8AWF and come from Saint Kentigern
College in Auckland. Our School has a great heritage
dating all the way back too Scotland with our school starting
in 1953. We are situated in Pakuranga with our grounds backing
onto the Tamaki Estuary. We have a proud tradition of Rowing
and Rugby in the school with both the top teams doing very
well in the competitions. At the moment we have an attendance
of 1600 students and 130 teachers with grounds of 140 hectares.
Our
class has a great mix of enthusiastic boys mixed with a
few really bright kids. We also have some boys who are well
suited to do the practical activities. We are really stoked
about entering this activity and helping various young kids
who are less fortunate then us be able to wash their hands
hygienically. We are looking forward to this challenging
project.

Hi
Monika and the other participants,
We are 2 classes from Tokomairiro High School in
Milton, 7Fe and 7Ra. Our town is about 40mins south
of Dunedin and our school has 250 students. Tokomairiro
is a little different as we have from year 7 students to
year 13.
Around Milton we have a lot of farm land and forestry. This
term will see the start of boys and girls cricket which
we are looking forward to. We are also all looking forward
to taking part in the project.
Kia
ora,
We
are a class of year nine students from Hukarere Girls
College which is situated at Eskdale,
a twenty minute drive north of Napier on the Napier-Taupo
highway. We are an Anglican church Boarding School
for years nine to thirteen. At the moment we have about
fifty boarders and about fifty day pupils. We are one of
the biggest classes in the school with 24 pupils. We have
Religious Education every Tuesday for about an hour and
this is the time we have to do the warablong project. We
had to study the church mission statement first to see how
the project could be part of this subject. Here at Hukarere
our curriculum is excellent and we all achieve individually
as well as in a team.
Our
brother school is Te Aute College in Pukehou about 20 minutes
south of Hastings which is about half an hour from Napier.
Our
school motto is "Kia U ki Te Pai" which comes
from the Bible - Romans 12:9 and means hang on to that which
is good.

Hi!
Our class has 17 pupils from Year 3-7. We go to The
Southland Adventist Christian School
in Invercargill. Invercargill is at
the bottom of the South Island in New Zealand.
There
is about 53,000 people in Invercargill and we are only 2
hours driving away from Queenstown which is a well known
holiday resort. Invercargill is in Southland which
is a farming province. There are a lot of sheep and
diary farms in the countryside around Invercargill. Our
weather is not that great, sometimes it is really good and
other times pretty bad. We have plenty of fresh
clean water around and can even drink straight from
our lakes and most of the rivers. We really like Southland
because it is a safe place to live and the environment is
fairly clean and we are not far from some neat holiday spots
like Queenstown, Te Anau and The Catlins.
We
are looking forward to doing this project and hopefully
coming up with some water saving devices for the people
in Papua New Guinea.
