Read about me!
Lani
Kia Ora, my name is Lani. I am 12 years old. I was born in the Manly Base Hospital in Australia. I am part Maori, part Dutch and part Australian, but the Dutch shows out in me more.I have several shades of blonde in my hair, I have ocean blue eyes and my skin is a light brown.
I love sports! I play netball, basketball, touch rugby, rippa rugby and my favourite sport of all surfing! My dad introduced me to surfing when I was nine. I go surfing whenever I get the chance.
My goal in life is to become a professional surfer! And show that girls can surf as good as boys, maybe even better! I would also like to travel the world after university, if I don’t become a professional surfer before then of course.
Well now you know all about me!

I Can Do It, We Can Do It!
Our Big Question is:
How can I make my classroom a great place to be?
The Deep Understandings are:
• We can all help to make our school a great place to learn
• We all have rights, roles and responsibilities at school
• We all have knowledge and skills to contribute – we are smart in different ways.
As part of this inquiry we have been creating personal shields, writing profiles about ourselves, a mihi and poems that give a description of ourselves. As part of our homework each student has been asked to put together an All about me booklet.
Muru Raupatu Marae Visit
At our recent visit to Muru Raupatu Marae.
Our Head boy Taine Wilcox was able to demonstrate his orator’s skill by doing a whaikÅrero on behalf of the school. We were all very proud of him.
Below is a sample of some of the activities that we were involved in during our day at the marae.
