Being principal for a day is the best thing you could ever imagine, even though it can be hard sometimes. When you get the opportunity to be principal of the day it sounds like it is going to be the best thing ever, and it is, but you always have to do work as well, like checking to see if everything is okay, going to meetings, and many other things. At morning tea time, my Deputy Principal friend Charli and I went to the staffroom to have something to eat. I had some fruit, some chocolate cake and a cup of tea. While we were there we said a speech for Rachel Parry since she was leaving to go to Christchurch to live. After our speech Rachel said she was sad that she was going and wondered if she should really leave us! Being principal of the day was a lot of work but in the end it was also fun. At lunchtime, we got sushi and juice. After we ate, I went with Mrs Warnock to room one and we supervised the children while they ate their food. It was an incredible experience to learn what itβs like to be a real principal! - Principal Angel
Being deputy principal for a day is really fun but hard at the same time. When I walked through the classrooms to check that the kids were doing their work, they all had such huge smiles on their faces. It made me feel special and warm inside. They were all so kind. After that we marked room fours handwriting with stickers. They all were so neat and made me jealous. They were so well behaved, it was great! At morning tea we went to eat in the staff room, and since Rachel Parry was leaving the next day there were cakes and so many yum fruits like watermelon, cherries and more yum desserts. I also had some lemon and lime green tea. Once morning tea finished we had Mass practice and I got to sit in front of everyone. When I saw my friends in the crowd I giggled because it was so awkward. Just before lunch we went to buy sushi and got teriyaki chicken on rice which was delicious, as well as a drink. We got Keri Apple and Blackcurrant juice, since it was a hot day. It was so refreshing! Once we finished I went to room three to supervise the kids when they were eating. This was a great experience and hard work. We also gave away mini certificates to kids who were good, kind, nice, patient and thoughtful. There were so many good kids! - Deputy Principal Charli
