making our school
a better place
Takapuna High School in Auckland is a
great school, but we can do things to make
it better. We have put our ideas on how
to make the school a better place on the
school’s website.
More dustbins
Students shouldn’t leave rubbish in the
school, but some students do. Last weekend
people dropped a lot of rubbish while they
were watching the school rugby match.
Every week, the school caretakers pick up
hundreds of crisp packets, cola cans and
other rubbish. We should stop our friends
when they try to drop rubbish. We also think
people wouldn’t drop rubbish if there were
more dustbins around the school. We think
the school should buy some extra dustbins.
A nature garden
The area between the school canteen
and Rangitoto Drive is a wasteland at the
moment. If the school built a wall and
planted some trees, the area would become
a small nature garden. It would be great if
students could use this area at lunchtimes.
The Biology teachers might want to use it in
their nature classes as well. If we made a
small pond, animals and birds would visit
the garden, too.
A mural for our school
Students from our school sometimes write
graffiti on the walls at night. It looks horrible
and the school has to spend a lot of money
to clean the walls. If the school didn’t have to
clean the graffiti, it would have more money
to buy things for the school, for example new
computers. We think if students made a big
mural on the outside wall, people wouldn’t
want to destroy it with graffiti. We would
like the mural to tell the story of the history
of New Zealand. We should paint pictures
of the Maori people arriving in New Zealand
and other important historical events. We
could also have a big picture of Rangitoto
Volcano in it. It would be great!
Crime in our school
Students often leave their bags in their
classrooms and the changing rooms and
sometimes people steal things. Last week a
student left her bag in the Maths classroom
while she was having lunch. Someone
opened her bag and took her MP3 player.
This week someone stole a mobile phone
from a student’s jacket in the changing
rooms, too. This is terrible, but things like
this wouldn’t happen if students used their
lockers. We should put up ‘Use Your Locker’
posters in the school corridors.
