The Pt.England Way!

The Pt.england way is group of behaviors, ideas, and attitudes about how we treat each other at Pt.england school. We should help one another and treat the parents, visitors and the teachers really well.

The Point England Way is very old, it was discussed in 2000 to 2001 and then it just carried on to this very day. A long time ago it was called Belonging to Pt.england and now it is called The Pt.england way  But when the school first started in the 1950’s there were no korero or the Pt.england way.

The Pt.england way has help for the school because people follow the rules which made all the kids and teacher calm down a bit. and everyone has kawa. There are a lot of rules in the Pt.england way some of them are, Being Responsible, Taking charge of yourself, Try your best and wear

it with pride. I wonder what it would be like without the Pt England way ?

here are a lot of rules in the Pt.england way some of them are, Being Responsible, Taking charge of yourself, Try your best and wear

it with pride. I wonder what it would be like without the Pt England way ? I bet when Pt.england didn't have the Pt.england way about 20 years ago it would of been a disaster. At pt.england now we are happier and safer since we have got the pt.england way. And we can Thank Mr. Burt for that because he was the person who made the Pt.england way.

The Purpose of the Pt.england way is so as people grow older and going to collage and  other people are going to other school they will carry it on and they won't get in trouble. And if people ask “you are so polite” you can say “Yeah and all thanks to Pt england school. And it is why we learn more and more each and every day.

When Mr. Burt and some of his people that he knew made the pt.england way they were using the 3 p’s and if you don't know what the 3 p’s are it is protection, partnership and participation. And it helped them A LOT because when you Co-operate it makes everything better.     

Treaty of Waitangi

The British Queen Victoria sent a man named William Hobson to try to make peace with the Maori  in New Zealand. She sent him to try and convince the Maori chiefs to sign a TREATY or legal agreement. On the 6th of february 1840 in Waitangi in the Bay of Islands 43 chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi.

The treaty was trying to solve some of the problems in New Zealand at that time.

One of the problems was The musket Wars, where Maori tribes were fighting one another with guns they had got from the British traders. Another problem was that Immigrants were wanting land. Land sharks, (people who were trying to make lots of money by getting land cheaply then selling it for lots of money) were causing hassles and trouble. The last problem was lawlessness where Europeans were committing crimes making NZ dangerous.

On the day, the 6th of February there were around about 50 chiefs. The day before on February 5th they had spent all day discussing and translating the treaty trying to figure out whether to sign it or not.  

The Treaty of Waitangi has got 3 principles. They are Protection (making sure they don’t fight and that there is peace), Partnership (letting everyone contribute to running New Zealand) and Participation (working together)

That helped them to work and get it done.

A problem about the Treaty of Waitangi is the translation. The English version means different things to the Maori version. This is why the Maori say it is a key to show that they agreed certain things, and that should be honoured.
