Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS. Firstly, we try new activities and new sports during the year. We play sports like dodge ball, multi sport, rock climbing and we just added a new game called ninja dodge ball. Secondly, we look after each other and make sure everyone is happy. We all use the stars and if someone gets hurt we all do our best to support each other. We recently had a boy called Ben in year 7 and he had leukaemia we did a sausage sizzle to raise money for him. Lastly, we do our best to be the number 1 house in the school. We do this by fundraising at least $2000 for ultimate relay, we also get house points and try to be the fittest house in the school. Because of all of these reasons I think we are the best house, we all work at one to be a team.

Peel paragraph

Being a mum is easy. Firstly, being a mum is easy when you have good kids. Good kids are when they don't break things scream all the time. Secondly, when you have birthday parties most parents have fun setting everything up like making a birthday present that the child want or what theme they want. Kids want things all the time so sometimes you have to please them.  Lastly, when your kids are asleep you can relax, like watching T.V or having a bath. So overall I don't know what it's like to be a mum but I think that it can be easy sometimes.

Peel paragraph

Mr Diver is a successful principal because he works hard, cares for others and makes activities fun.
Firstly Mr Diver works hard he plans the upcoming events for the year like maths challenges and competitions. Secondly he cares for others, he makes sure that all the students and teachers are using the stars like teachers on bus duty. Lastly he makes everything fun he plans events like ultimate relay, camp and also makes sure that all houses have a social dance this makes everything fun.
Overall I think this makes a great principal.
