Celebrating Kirkwood House<br />
Captains for <strong>2018</strong><br />
House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />
Ben - Ex Springston School I enjoy Kirkwood because everyone is<br />
friendly and the learning environment is great. I would like to be a good<br />
role model for the Year 7’s and 8’s as well as make Kirkwood enjoyable<br />
for everyone.<br />
Camp was a blast! We developed friendships, experienced Canadian canoeing, abseiling,<br />
camping and enjoyed yummy food. When we were at camp, we learnt to cooperate with each<br />
other. We had the most amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We had to work things<br />
out when things were not right and we had to listen to instructions when the parents and teacher<br />
said so. Most of all we had fun. Manthan (Room 10)<br />
Aria - Ex Springston School Kirkwood has a friendly environment that<br />
embraces everyone. The school provides many opportunities and the<br />
technology is amazing. I want to make the school a better place by<br />
embracing everyone’s culture and to be a good role model.<br />
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />
Seth - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the environment and the learning<br />
at Kirkwood. I would like to motivate and support others to achieve<br />
their goals.<br />
Kaitlyn - Ex Lincoln Primary School I love the learning style, and how<br />
supportive and helpful the teachers are, all the opportunities there are<br />
and how Kirkwood will set me up for high school. This year, I want to be<br />
able to leave something for future pupils and be able to organise events<br />
to make school more exciting.<br />
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />
Katie - Ex Clearview Primary School I love the learning style, the<br />
great opportunities that Kirkwood provides and the friendly staff and<br />
children that go to Kirkwood. I want to achieve my best at everything<br />
and take up every opportunity provided.<br />
Angus - Ex Prebbleton School I love the opportunities, chances and<br />
the friendly people at Kirkwood. I want to meet lots of new people and<br />
help make this year better for everyone.<br />
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />
Ethan - Ex Oaklands School I love the fun and happy environment<br />
that Kirkwood has. I want to do my best at everything.<br />
Emma - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the different opportunities in<br />
sporting and academic competitions as well as the open, friendly and<br />
welcoming aura that surrounds the school. This year, I would like to<br />
make a positive impression on the future Year 8’s and to encourage<br />
others to achieve to the best of their abilities.<br />
Our second day of camp at Purau Bay we did Canadian canoeing. At first the waves and the<br />
paddles did not cooperate but we found out it is about us and the paddles. We had to work<br />
together. The person at the front had to choose what speed we were going to go, the person in<br />
the middle is like the engine of the canoe where they had to follow the momentum of the person<br />
in front. The person at the back controls the direction. Everyone must always be ready to change<br />
the direction if it is necessary. Megan (Room 10)<br />
