Career week .

In week 8 , the students of Room 7 had to chose what career we would like to do when we grow up.

I have chosen to become a Aviation security officer (ASO). As a ASO  they are to perform duties to help ensure the safety of New Zealand. To be a Aviation security you have to be dedicated , responsible and willing to commit to the safety within the airport. 

They are required to 

• Screen carried on luggage 
• Screen check in luggage
• Watch the airport workers 
• Search the aeroplane

You need a 

• Full New Zealand licence 
• A New Zealand residency or citizenship
• Good english (Other languages would be an advantage)
• Flexible around work hours
• Good peoples skills , integrity , honesty and trustworthiness .

• The competencies we look for are:

o Striving – Drive for achievement, need for expertise, drive to put beliefs in action;

o Thinking – Focus, discipline, personal responsibility; and

o Relating – Empathy, attentiveness to individual differences, ability to persuade, taking charge.



Personally I would like to become a ASO because I would like to experience someone trying to import drugs. 

My Decimals

This year decimals were my weak point. Going through this year I now know how to solve decimal equations. I am now going to show you how I solve my decimal .

For example. : 7.2 x 1.8= ?

First I multiply these numbers avoiding the decimal point. 
72x18=1296. But then where do I put the decimals ?

Looking at my equation there is 1 place before both decimals. 1+1=2. So I move the decimal 2 places from the end of my answer. 12.96

Camp 2012

There was so many things I enjoyed. Archery was one of the best. It was my first time and a great experience. It was harder than it looked. I wasn't to good but got some good shots. If I had another chance to play I would take it . Camp was great.
