Teachers From Japan Visit Eastern Hutt

On Monday the 1st of August we had some teachers from Japan visit us. They came from a city called Osaka. The student leaders took them around the school to show them the Senior, Middle and Junior classes and how it is different to Japan. The Japanese teachers asked us a lot of questions, like what times of the day would you go out for fitness? What are the most common subjects you do? When we got back, the teachers taught us how to do origami and gave us Japanese fans and Japanese paper. We made Japanese cranes and balloons. We learnt a lot from them! We were sad to see them go and wished them all the best and a safe flight home.

Sam's Leadership Message

Hi, my name is Sam, I am 10 years old and my class is A8.

I wanted to be a leader because I enjoy helping out the school and the

teachers.  I wanted to contribute my school values in sport and to my

class mates.

What really inspired me at leaders day was to make the right choices for who my friends are and what I want my future to be.  Pat Buckley described the choices he made in life like the bad and good choices but his main point was to trust yourself.

Sam Brocks Leadership Message is to try your hardest to achieve your own goals and one day you might.  I believe in myself so I encourage others to believe in themselves too.

E.H.S Leadership

My name is Callum.  I wanted to be a leader at Eastern Hutt because you get to do lots of fun things e.g. leading assemblies, going on trips and meeting with Mrs Henderson to find out what’s going on at school.

At NYLD11 we heard a few speakers.  My favourite one was the Laughing Samoans but the most interesting was Jamie Fitzgerald.  He is an adventurer and did some cool things like canoeing across the Pacific Ocean and walking across the South Pole.

I learnt from Jamie Fitzgerald that if you dream it you can do it.  Your future lies in your hands.

Why I wanted to Be A School Leader

Hi my name is Russell and I wanted to be a school leader because I remember the school leaders being my role models and they helped with the little kids and that’s what I wanted to do.

What I Learnt At National Young Leaders Day

-Be kind.

-Always do the right thing even if you stand alone.

-Stand up for your rights.

-You never know what’s around the corner.

-If you’re stuck try every possibility because one is bound to work.

            

Main point

The main point for me was;

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody is going to know whether you did it or not.

So at school I will try to remember to not let my friends make choices for me. I will always choose what’s right and not change that decision. I will stick up for people and they should stick up for me.

I always have a friend to go to.

Abbi's Leadership Message

Ki ora, my name is Abbi and I am a leader at E.H.S (Easten Hutt School). On the 23/5/11 all the leaders of E.H.S and many other schools went to Wellington to the Leaders Day. What inspired me there was the people that came and what they had done. What I have learnt is that being a good leader is not about the fame or the fortune! It's about helping people and enjoying that. I also learnt that leaders come in all shapes and sizes! The reason I wanted to become a leader was I really like helping others.

The lesson I learnt most was that if you want to be a leader, you have to do what is best, not always what you would rather do!

My Leaders Education

Ki ora my name is Ruby and I am a year 6 at Eastern Hutt School!

When I was a year 5 I was in love with wanting to be a leader so much, that of course I applied to be a leader  for the school. After a while I got the news "YES" I am a leader.





On Monday the 25 of May the leaders and I went to the National Young Leaders' Day. I learnt some of the friends you hang out with  may have the wrong influence on you and also Jamie Fitzgerald told us never give up on your dreams of doing something.

As a leader I would like to say "Always get back up and keep on going!"

Alice's Leadership Message

Hi, I'm Alice
I am 10 years old and I love being a leader at EHS. I wanted to be a leader here because I love helping people and making a difference in this school is what I've always wanted to do.




One of the very inspiring pieces of advice at NYLD was when Pat Buckley said that life is a journey and every choice you make has consequences. I also learnt that you should enjoy being a kid and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

The main message in this is that your education will prepare you for the future and people should follow their dreams.
