New Zealand is proud of you Valerie.  You tried your best.  Silver is not bad.  You chose the right sport.  You are a NZ star.  Congratulations on winning a silver medal.

Val, to me you are an inspiration. You are a huge role model to everyone. There is no need to be sad because at Glen Innes School you are still a star. You encourage everyone to be like you. You are very good at shot put so there is  no need to give up on your dreams.

Thanks A Lot! by Trey

Dear Mum

Thank you so much for paying for the netbook. It was very worth it. The netbook will help me towards my learning at school.

When I do writing at school it helps me get stronger words for writing. It will help me increase my typing speed. It will also correct my writing if I spell it incorrect. This will help a lot with my speeches.

In maths, it will help me learn more word strategies which is difficult for me in class. I can find some math websites to do more work on.   

From now and on I will take care of  it everywhere I go. I really appreciate this gift.

A huge thanks... by Arihi

Dear Parents

Thank you so much for spending  all your money on me for the netbook. It really will help me learn a lot in maths, reading and writing.

Having a netbook will really help me learn my maths because if I don’t get something I can search it up. Now I have my netbook I can learn my 4, 6, 7 and 8 times tables. It is a lot easier than it used to be. I can also search up games like fraction games or division games to help learn a lot.

Reading is a lot easier as well because I can read online stories and   play reading games.The netbook has a lot of amazing reading games on it and I play some of them to correct my reading comprehension.

Now that we have our netbook we can write on google docs or word. We don’t have to use our books anymore so having a netbook is really wonderful.

I promise that I will always look after my netbook and never break it and be responsible. I am really grateful  that you brought  me one and I will always listen to you.

Great Appreciation for Mum - by Alisi

Dear Mum  


Thank you very much for buying my netbook. I really appreciate you giving me this opportunity to learn something new every day.


In maths my netbook will help me to order fractions, convert fractions into decimals, add integers and convert percentages to decimals. I will learn maths better now that I have a netbook.

In reading, my netbook will help me to read higher levels, improve my spelling and comprehension.

In writing, my netbook will help me to learn more about metaphors and personification. And write more descriptive words and longer stories.

Once again thank you very much mum for doing all the paperwork and for caring so much about me by getting this netbook.

Striving to Succeed - by Devonn

Dear Mum and Dad

Thank you Mum and Dad for spending your money on my education. I really appreciate it.
The netbook will help me on my fractions and percentages and ordering fractions in maths.
I will improve in my comprehension and my skimming and scanning for reading.
It will make me improve heaps in my letter formation and my persuasive writing for writing.

This netbook that you put money forward for has changed my life so I will play a big role of being responsible and keep this netbook safe.

A big appreciation for parents - by Saloma

Dear Parents

Thank you for buying Jalal and I a netbook. I’ve always wanted a netbook but my dream came true.
In maths my netbook could help me on my divisions and fractions by going on mathzone or by going on maths games or even by going on online eduss.
In reading my netbook could help me on my comprehension when I am  reading online stories. For writing my netbook could help me when I am in word and type faster.
I will take care of it, be responsible and respectful and make sure it is safe. So thank you and I really really really appreciate it.
