What is Social Responsibility?

What is Social Responsibility?
Social Responsibility is attitudes and values made into levels to help students succeed and show respect in Physical Education and Health. Teachers teach Social Responsibility in hopes of helping their students to show a high level of Social Resposibility everywhere they go and not only in specific learning areas.

What level did you display? How?
I think that I showed level 3 most of the time by helping others and participating in all activities.

How can you improve for the next lesson?
I can improve by helping to clean and pack up after every practical lesson.

White Ribbon

What is the White Ribbon?

In today's assembly we had some year 11's talk to us about the white ribbon march which takes place on Friday 23rd of November. The white ribbon is a symbol that represents a movement which stands against family violence. If you see family violence happening in front of you, speak up and do something about it.

Maze Game and Flappy Bird Codes

In our Digitech class we created presentations on games we completed. The names of the games that we played were Flappy Bird and Maze Game. We had to finish off the codes using blocks which made the character do what we wanted it to. Eg. Move Forward, Turn Right. From this exercise I learnt how to code the games by adding blocks.
 

What it means to be successful

What does it mean to be successful?

To me, being successful means to be where you want to be in life and doing the job that you dreamt of doing as a kid. Every kid has a dream job and their main goal is to get that job, even if it's not a well paying job, they are still successful for achieving their goals. Another meaning of successful is completing all your work to a high standard and getting prizes at the end of year prizegiving.

What Do You Value Most As A Student?

What do you value most as a student?

One thing I value a lot as a student is my learning. For example, in my spare time I like to check if my classwork is up to date and completed in the time given from the teachers. Another thing I value is my peers. Making sure that my peers are doing their work has been something I have valued for a while now, but the only thing that actually stops me from doing this is when they don't listen to me, or even the teacher. That's 2 of many things that I value as a student.

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2018

Yesterday, the Year 9s and 10s attended the annual Manaiakalani Film Festival for 2018 held at Hoyts Movies in Sylvia Park. We watched different films from many different schools such as, Glen Taylor School, Tamaki Primary School, our own school (Tamaki College) and many more. I think our whole school really enjoyed all of these unique films and we would watch them again at any given time.

Food Technology - Mince Pasta

Today in food technology we made mince pasta. Some people couldn't finish their food but the pasta still recieved some good comments.

Here is the method we used to make out mince pasta:

Step 1 - Boil pasta with 2 cups of cold water until it's soft.

Step 2 - Drain using colander.

Step 3 - Fry the mince with onion.

Step 4 - When it's cooked add sauce

Step 5 - Combine with pasta sauce and top it with cheese. Fry 180 degrees C 15 mins

Making mince pasta was a very fun experience and I hope that everyone in this class is now able to go home and make this for their family.
