With the transition to High School only weeks away, Room 3 of Pukekohe Intermediate organised and ran a Year 8 Careers Day. Workers from across the district with exciting jobs travelled to our school on Thursday the 19th of November. Each student attended 3 lectures from the employers, 1 for each periodical block (2 periods). The employers gave careers on how their job works, what their day involves and how to get a job in that industry.
I visited Mark Ball the Mayor, Reon Graham Director of Sales at EMI Music, and Sam from Franklin County News.
All speakers were informative, and gave students a clear view of possible career options.

With Christmas coming fast room 23 has formed a Christmas party comity to plan out our class Christmas party coming up on Tuesday the 8th of December. The comity is Danelle (leader), Me, Lachlan, Sophie, Bailee, Shannon, Leota and Danielle. We have been having meetings to plan food, dress and decorations. The comity is working well together and we are hoping that the Christmas party will run well.

Walking into the hall for the first stepz lesson, everyone looked anxious and rather scared. No one was looking forward to dancing with a boy. But once the music started, and Simon taught us the dances, everyone forgot the first thought of fear and let loose. Now every student looks forward to the Friday lessons and cant wait til the Ball.
All these practices are a lead up to the Year 8 Leavers Social, which we will perform the 9 dances we've learnt.
The Year 8 Leavers Social will be on Wednesday 9th of December, and the decided theme is Glitz and Glam.
