Hey there! My name is Leanah. I am a Year 9 student attending Tamaki College, I am part of a project based learning class with 29 other students. We are Akomanga Kaihanga.
In Akomanga Kaihanga, we have five separate teams, Team Renegade, Team Polys, DonkCorn, Team Jax and Island Skittles! I am part of Island Skittles, my team consists of six hard working students, Mary-Ruth as a note taker, Paikea as our team spokesperson, Cherry-Anne, Mathew, David and I as their leader and one of the students on the student council.. Our team is trying to raise awareness about how important it is to know how to swim and what to do in dangerous situations surrounding water.
In our current project we are trying to extend Year 10 water safety lessons to Year 9 and we are also trying to build a pool at Tamaki College. I hope that our project will help students become wiser and more educated in and around water. I also hope that building a pool at Tamaki College would make it easier not only for teachers, but for students to receive their lessons.
At the moment, my team is doing well in being able to focus on their tasks and get their work done. We have each been assigned 1-2 tasks that we are aiming to complete in the next two days. When we complete our tasks, I hope that we'll be able to action our project by talking to staff and students about whether they support our project or not. When our project is completed, our team hopes to have made a positive impact on a child's life.
