PEEL Paragraph

There are multiple reasons why Rimu is the best syndicate. Firstly, Rimu offers a large range of opportunities. For example, Rimu house gets to use laptops for learning everyday! Also, Rimu house has great teachers. Such as Miss Campbell who speaks Mandarin and Mrs Mills who is a tech whizz! Another great reason why Rimu is the best syndicate is that we set high standards. Like the spirit trophy competition, we are always seen in the top places. It's for these reasons and many more that Rimu is the best syndicate.

PEEL Paragraph

Being a mum is easy. 

It can be argued that being a mum is easy. Firstly, being a mum can cause a lot of stress. Like my brother, if my mum asks him to get up for school, he won't. Secondly, children are very demanding and want everything they see. For example, if my sister sees a pretty skirt she'll tug on mum's dress, demanding her to buy it. Also, children can be very restless and never seem to get tired. My little cousin is always bouncing off the walls 24/7 and this drives her mum round the bend. It's for these reasons that I think being a Mum is not easy. 

Why is Mr Brian Diver such a successful principal

Mr Diver is a successful principal because he has high expectations. Firstly, Mr Diver expects his school to be on top. He makes sure his school is always on top of the AIMS GAMES medal table each year. Also, he strives to make his school's learning opportunities as large as possible. He does this by employing top staff members like Mrs Hart, who has travelled around the world. Thirdly, Mr Diver supports his students by giving inspirational speeches in assembly that motivate them to succeed. Lastly, Mr Diver makes his school's reputation really high by giving his students a wide range of amazing opportunities such as The Ultimate Relay and Ngamuwahine Camp. Therefore, Mr Diver is a very successful principal.
