Yr 9, Hunua Camp

Yr 9, Hunua Camp
My Highlights of the Camp:

I personally enjoyed the yr 9 camp to Hunua falls. The 10k hike we did first was hard to do because it was muddy and slippery and we did end up falling but we got through it and at the end of the day we did have fun and was really exhausted. The activities were fun and terrifying at the same time but everyone enjoyed as well. My favourite activities were Team building, Confidence course and the Cargo net, we did get muddy and was really cold but we still enjoyed it. Our cabins were big enough for us all but it did get really cold. The talent quest that we held was also really fun and entertaining, everyone did it together and enjoyed it. We also enjoyed spending time with friends and team mates. It was sad leaving camp back to Glen Innes but we all did have great fun and would recommend coming back.

Personal Migration Story

In Social studies we are currently working on Migration but at the same time learning about the Push and Pull factors of Migrating. On 19 June, in social studies 9KRo, had a guest visitor talking about her Migration story from Samoa to NZ. Her name was Sineli. Sineli had left Samoa around 1962 to NZ at the age of 18, she had Migrated to NZ because she had got the opportunity to be able to come over to NZ for a better chance of education but she didn't just come for that her family also wanted her to get a job so that the money she was getting paid could be sent to Samoa so her dad can build their first Pakeha house. Some of her Pull reasons was to be well educated, raise enough money to be sent for her family in Samoa and better life. Some of her Push reasons was that there wasn't that much advantage of education and that they didn't have that much money. When Sineli moved to NZ the challenges she was facing was understanding English as well as speaking English. I enjoyed Sineli story because her story was very interesting and while she was telling the story I could understand her Push and Pull factors.
