Purpose of School - Writing 2019

What is my purpose of school?

Have you ever thought about why you go to school? Maybe, it’s because your parents just
forced you but for me there are different reasons. To gain the skills and education to live
successfully, Have a decent career pathway and to strengthen our socializing and
communicating skills!

A major part of school is to gain knowledge. We go to school to learn. We learn these skills to
live a happy life. Learning new things so we can have a life that our children can enjoy.

Going to school can expand your thinking and that can lead to having a decent career pathway.
If you study the subjects you need in life at school, you will definitely get your dream job.
Schools hold these opportunities so you can have the future you want!

Lastly, School can strengthen our talking skills. Talking to our classmates can develop the
child’s vocabulary more. Communicating with more people can help with boosting their
confidence. Having good communication skills can lead to new adventures and opportunities
to place that you will never imagine!

I think it’s safe to say that school is an amazing place and helps us grow in different ways,
whether it’s through learning, talking and more, we’re all able to learn. We all have different
purpose for going to school. What is your purpose of school?

The Malaga Talk

Today, we had another talk. Instead this talk is about their careers and their journey on how they came to where they are now. The Guest speakers were Jason Young, Fiona Bakulich and Tanielu Tele'a. They are all related to Mrs Tele'a in different ways. Tanielu is Mrs Tele'as son, Fiona is Mrs Tele'a younger sister and Jason is Mr Tele'a ( Mrs Tele'a's husband) friend. They each had a turn to talk about their journey.

Jason Young is a builder and he was a part of a program and is a mentor for 'Big Buddy'. He has a lot of sayings from his mum. He had a lot of courage and he said he liked writing. He went to Pt England School and Tamaki College. He didn't go to University and he regretted that he didn't go but he was grateful for the teachers at PES and TC. We learnt that we should not let our job define who we are.

Next speaker was Fiona Bakulich. As I said before she is Mrs Tele'as sister. She is a funeral director, she is even in a TV program which is called 'The Casketeers'. She didn't have any troubles with taking care of the passed bodies because growing up she had to do jobs like wheeling out the dead bodies for her parents appointments with the passed member's family. She grew up having a good heart and being really kind. She went to Grey Lynn primary and Mangere College and Ponsonby Intermediate.

Lastly we had Tanielu Tele'a. He is a new member of the Blues. His family and his schools which were PES and St Kent's College were very proud of him. He had a grateful personality and loved everything whether it was non sport related. He participated in lot's of sports during his primary years. We learnt from him to try everything even if you are not good at it!

We loved the event and loved hearing other people's story. It was very inspiring and would like to have more people come in and talk more about their life story. Photo's Below!
