Our English Department hosted breakfast prior to the Level One English exam.

The morning of the Level One English exam at Te Aratai College was marked by the feeling of both nerves and egg-citement, thanks to the breakfast organized by the English department.

As per tradition, as the quad slowly filled with Year-Eleven students waiting to enter Te Puna to complete the exam, the aroma of bacon and pancakes filled the air of Te Whare Matauranga.

The purpose of the breakfast is not only to fuel the students’ minds and bodies for up to three hours of furious writing. It is also a chance for friends to offer support to one another and to allow time for any last minute questions. Students left feeling juiced up and ready for the task ahead.

Many thanks to the teachers who gave up their mornings to help, Daryl Crocker for allowing the use of the cooking rooms, and Jodine Hardwicke for returning from leave to assist. Good luck to all students as they finish exams and we hope you earn the results you deserve.
