Friday enrichment programmes are a great way to do something
that you love, out of class. At the beginning of Term One we got a list of all
the Friday programmes which included Culinary Arts, Extension Art, Performers
group, Funky garden art, Take 2 – (learning digital ICT skills), Media team
– (creating the school magazine), Sewing, Kapa Haka, and Enviro Leaders.
Then you had to write an application explaining why you
think you would be a good student to have in the programme you want to be a part
of. If you wanted to you could get a letter of recommendation from your parents
and teacher. In some activities there were stages that you had to get
shortlisted for. For Culinary Arts you had to cook or bake something. For
Extension Art you had to sketch a scene from Aladdin (which is our school production
coming up this year). Fortunately I made it in to Culinary Arts which is really
exciting for me. We get to cater for meetings, make home-made pasta, bake
macaroons and participate in lots of other activities.
I think having Friday enrichment programmes is an awesome idea as
you can try something different and learn new skills.
Does your school have any extra activities for the students
to participate in?
If so what are they?
