Dear Constable Andrew

I’m writing to say thank you for coming to Glenbrae school and talking to the year 7 & 8 students.

I found it really interesting when you talked about your life and what you had to do to become a police officer. I learnt that I should think about what I want to be when I am young and work towards achieving this. I  think you inspired a lot of people in the class when you were talking to us.

Is it fun being a police officer?

How dangerous is your job?

Was it your dream to be a police officer?

I really appreciate you giving up your time to us. It was a privilege having you at our school.

Yours sincerely

Dear Matua Leighton

I am writing to say thank you for coming to Glenbrae school and talking to us about your career and how you became a teacher.

I learnt that we should go to university when you finish college so you can learn more and get a good job to help the family. It was interesting finding out that you had kids when you were 19 and you went to university later on and studied to become a teacher.

Why did you choose to become a teacher?

Was it your dream to be a teacher?

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Tamati Parker

I am Alex and I am a year 8 student at Glenbrae school. I am writing to say thank you for coming to our school and talking to us about the construction business.

It was interesting learning about how you became a Quantity Surveyor. It was even more interesting when you were talking about how buildings are made and how long you had to study at university. When you were talking to us you inspired our class. When I’m older I want to become a builder.

I really appreciated you giving up your time to us. It was a privilege having you at our school.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mrs Tofa

I am writing to say thank you for speaking to us about how you became a teacher.

It was interesting to  learn that your Dad had to sell his business so your family could come to New Zealand and live a better life, and how you had to go to a new school and meet new friends.

I learnt that your Dad went back to Samoa and started his business up again. I also learnt that it must have been hard for you to grow up when your Dad was in Samoa and you were in New Zealand.

Did you want to come to New Zealand?

Was it your dream to become a teacher?

Yours sincerely

Alexander

Dear Constable Geoff

I am writing to say thank you for coming to our school and talking to the year 7 and 8 students about your career and how you became a police officer.

It was interesting finding out that you could run 3km under 15 minutes and how you had to lose weight to become a police officer. It must have been hard to run 3km under 15 minutes. I learnt that you should learn as much as you can when you're in school. You inspired us when you were talking to us about your career.

I really appreciated you giving up your time to us. It was a privilege having you at our school.
