Modification Of School Hours!

I agree that modifying the Year 7 and 8's starting time ten minutes earlier (8:30 am) rather than the current time (8:45 am) would be a wonderful idea.

First of all, if these changes take place. we will have extra time for learning. However, if we keep the usual time (8:45 am) the amount of work we are currently doing is not enough. It would be great if we were able to complete more assignments in that extra time. This will be great for the teachers because those teachers who come to school at 8:30 am this will probably encourage them to start opening their classes at 8:10 am or 8:20 am.

Secondly, for those who wake up late and arrive at school late, changing the school hour could possibly motivate them to wake up earlier and aim to arrive at school earlier as well. If they get into the habit of getting to school on time, then it will help to prepare them for college. Which brings me to my next point.

It is important for us as Year 7 and 8 students to prepare ourselves as much as we can before we enter college. a Starting school at a similar time, will support and strengthen our time management skills and help us to achieve high standards of work and meet the challenges we will face at college. Also because we use google apps, we don’t have to wait for our teacher to tell us what to do, we can access our learning on the google site.

In conclusion, like I said our starting time should be changed because it will give us more time to finish assignments and will also prepare us for college. But before going to college you have to hit the national standard.

TROUBLEMAKER!

It was the 19th of July and my family were stressed about what to wear to my little cousin’s birthday, which was to be held on the following day.  This was especially my brothers. I’d expected my brothers’ (I have three), to be excited about the party but instead they were getting all angry because most of the clothes they had, according to them, were old and had been seen by  all the people who were also going to the party.  

“Stop stressing about your clothes”, I told my brothers’ “It’s not like there is gonna be girls there”.” It’s a family thing” I shouted!  Almost immediately after making that comment - simultaneously from the mouth of  my brothers’ came the words... 
“Mind your own business!”
 I turned to face all three of them and gave them the meanest, evil eyes I could make..... and ran out of the room to my parents as fast as I could!   From experience I knew that this was a safe move, they would never and I mean never come after me when I go to mum and dad. 

A short time later while sitting in the lounge with my mum, I strained my ears towards the direction of the conversation. The voices of my brothers was joined in by my cousin. My brothers were asking my cousin if they could wear some of his clothes (because they were new clothes). I told my mum and she growled them in Tongan. Behind the safety of my mother’s back I giggled and smirked silently. 

On the morning of the birthday.  I went up to my brothers and apologised  for being a troublemaker on Friday night.  They said that it was alright, because they were being meanies too.

The party was being held at the Rock Climbing Warehouse.  When we arrived I ran straight to the Adventureland Park.  Unfortunately my brother and I got kicked off the park because we were too old and too big for it. It was only then that I noticed the sign that said ‘Ten years and under only’!

My eyes very quickly noticed boxes of pizza being carried to the eating area. I was so enthusiastic about the climbing that I decided to not eat at that time and shouted to my aunt and uncle, “Save me some food please”! After a while went and got 4 pieces of pizza. Two hawaiian and two meat lovers. But as soon as I’d finished,  I climbed up the skateboarding rock climbing which turned out to be the wrong thing to do.  Moments later I jumped back down I ran to a bin and vomited.

What a day!
