Zeal Zone - Art

Today in our Zeal Zone groups, we were given the task to create a symbol other then a poppy as a remembrance accessory for Anzac. As you can see in the image above, I have created a Dove and along back side of the Dove, is the New Zealand Fern.

I decided to use these two images for the following reasons : 

1 . The Dove, represents peace. It symbolise when the war finally came to an end and all countries had peace at last.

2 . New Zealand Fern, the fern represents New Zealand and the fact that they went to war and fought for our country.

Travelling long distance to get to school? Walking miles to get to the bus stop? And you live here in the East? Have you ever considered going to Tamaki after Year 8 at Pt England? I consider that all students attending Pt England should go to Tamaki College when they finish Pt England, for the following reasons.

NCEA results have been improving by storm! Tamaki College’s NCEA results have been improving by great quantity of numbers, in 2013 Tamaki College achieved an 80% pass rate.

Staff at Tamaki College have been pushing students to prepare them for their for their upcoming exams. Prefects, hosting study class’s after school, Teachers running little groups for children who need the extra help! But wait there's more!

Tamaki College, is part of the Manaiakalani Cluster which means if you’re moving into High school from Pt England you have the opportunity to take you Chromebook along with you. Tamaki is the only secondary school in the Manaiakalani cluster, and is the closes college to Pt England.

Service Trades Academy is a option available at Tamaki College, so it means that if you are wanting to be a part of the Navy or an Police Woman/Man you are capable of doing this at Tamaki College!

Teacher’s are brilliant! The Tamaki Teachers, are one of the most intelligents teachers you could ever meet. Tamaki Teachers, make college seem so easy to most students, and I must admit, their pretty good at what they are doing!

Changing your mind yet? Let me tell you one last thing!

Offers good quality education and knowledge! At Tamaki College class mobility is one of the main focus in this secondary school, so this means that children who are in the lower classes actually get the chance to move up a level, with the encouragement of the teachers as well as students.
