We had a short assembly this morning!

On Monday the 20th of June on a freezing winter morning, I ran to assembly in a hurry because I thought I was running late. I walked on the deck in a hurry and hooked my bag on the bag rack in the cloak bay.


After that, I quickly sat down on the cold, smooth rock-like surface next to my classmates because that was where our school assembly was taking place. Room 5L was running assembly. It was very cold and I was shivering as if I was in Antarctica. However, if I was really there, then I would be frozen.


Their teacher Miss Twomey, read the Gospel of Jesus working on the Sabbath Day. After the end, every class said, "Praise be to you Lord, Jesus Christ." Then Mrs Twomey picked up a black folder and she displayed the words to the Waiata that they were singing. They sang a song that sounded very familiar to me and by this time, my legs were freezing from sitting so long on the cold ground outside.


After that everyone was asked to say the Our Father. We followed obediently without any disruptions. When we finished our Karakia, Mrs Twomey announced the Student of the week and the School Spirit Awards. Unfortunately, there were no Caught Being Good certificates.


There were two people from Room 7, two from Room 8, two from Room 5L and two from Room 2. Most classes had a person chosen for the School Spirit Award.

Soon, assembly was over. We went back to our rooms slowly in a crooked line. It was very cold and I felt like I was in a freezer.
