I would like to nominate Ali Delaney as a good sort
on TV One news because she volunteers her time at St. Johns and in between her
busy schedule she finds us time at our school. Ali Delaney is a humble person
and deserves to be recognised for a lot she does in our community. Ali always
has a positive attitude always and pushes us kids to reach for the stars and to
be the best that we can be. Examples that are positively influenced include her
family, friends and our small community of Mahia. It makes me feel positive and
happy that there are awesome people like her. I think Ali isn’t a good sort,
she is an amazing sort. My nomination should be considered because Ali Delaney
is Awesome! Brady Kamau
A

has come to the wetland every time we go and she helps us plant at least 400
plants she helps people when there sick because she is a volunteer with St John

The person I would like to nominate as a good sort
is Henare Cooper but most people call Dog. I would like to nominate Uncle Dog
for the TV One Good-Sorts Show. Every time there is a event on such as a tangi
or birthday he is always doing something
for the community. Everything he does is to help others out. He would be one of
the most caring people I know. He is
always teaching people such as myself about the moana and giving us really long
lectures when we go on the boat! That is
why Uncle Dog should by TV Ones Good Sort!

As
a student I would like to nominate as a good sort Mani because she does a lot
with us in kapahaka at our school. The time she started with us is 11.30
-12.30 She all so takes me to karate
because she goes there to also she does her best to get us to be great at
kapahaka as an example she work hard to keep us kids at Te Mahia school she is
extremely talented at her job and does it for free. Mani gave us a new song and some people already know it off by heart
I consider my Aunty Mani to be a good
sort. Eve Chin
A
person I would like to nominate as a good sorts person is Ian Pickering. Ian is
a community member who lives at Mahanga. He loves the environment and willingly
shares his knowledge and skills with students at our school. He always comes to
Te Mahia School every Wednesday to clean up the shade house have seedlings that
we plant over the year. Then they get planted at the Opoutama wetlands. Ian
Pickering mangages the wetlands by trapping stoats, weasles and rats. Sometimes
he lets me come for a ride to the wetlands to plant native plants with him. He
calls up the school and arranges everything and we go planting with him. Me and
my dad know him very well. He lets us go duck shooting in his ponds. A few
weeks ago I went on a helicopter ride because the pilot was spraying black
berry, gorse and weeds. That was the best time because Ian didn’t have to do
that but he wanted too. So that’s why I am nominating Ian as a good sort. Jack Delaney
I
consider my mum as a good sort person, because she is amazingly great,
wonderful and genourous to me, my baby brother and Dad. My Mum feeds me, my
baby brother, dad and our friends. She
has very nicely made me from yongest to an older brother by giving me a baby
brother, called little Hona, he is a naughty boy at times, but he is funny,
wonderful cute and chubby. My Mum all the time
is caring for everyone else except for herself. She always loves me and
our family and she always will. Jashyn

A
person I would like to nominate as a good sort is Aunty Liz because she helps
us with our kapahaka so we can feel good on stage for kapahaka. Aunty Liz is
the best that is why she should be nominated for a good sort. She has even made her own CD and she is
talented at kapahaka. Our teacher always says “ if you have talent you need to
share it with the world,” and that is exactly what she does. Khalos Brown
Hey
TV 1 news I would like to nominate my Aunty Liz Kereru for TV Ones good sorts.
She is amazing at everything she does. She is humble, has a lovely personality
but besides all that she takes us Te Mahia School students for kapa haka every
Friday along with Mani and Maiouna. She is one of the best kapa haka teachers I
have ever had and I bet you’ll like her too. Also, the great thing about her is
that she does it for free, yes free and in her own time. She knows and very
much thinks that we are good, no not good great. She writes amazing maori
chants and songs. She has her own CD. She is a lovely guitarist and has an
amazing voice and we will probably win with her. Without her we probably wouldn’t be anywhere. She is lovely, talented and great at everything
she does. She is so cool and if you
don’t think she is you are wrong. I would like to nominate her because she
teaches us in her own time. Kingi Ormond
I
would like to nominate Aunty Liz Kereru for TV one news Goodsorts award. Every
Friday at Te Mahia School she comes in and helps with Kapahaka. We are having
our Kapahaka festival at the end of term 3. She is our kaiako. I consider her to be a Goodsorts person
because she is nice to me and all of her students. She is helpful at Kapahaka
because she goes to great efforts in teaching us waiata, actions, Haka and
teaching others about Maoritanga. She is
extremely talented with playing the guitar, singing and she even recorded her
own CD. She encourages all students with her high expectations with Kapahaka
learning. I lead Nukutarua, a waiata / chant, and she expects me to do it
really well. I think she is a humble person who deserves to be recognised
because she contributes so much. She
sets a great example as being a leader at our school and in our community. I
hope Hayden Janes comes to vist her. Maungarongo

I
consider Ali Delanyey to be my good sort. She is not a good sort she is a
awesome. Every time we go to the wetlands she is there in a blink. Ali is there
to help out any time we need her. She gives up her time to help the community
in any way. When we go on trips she helps transport children and she is a
volunteer for St Johns. So I want to nominate Ali Delaney for what she does. Ngaire Taumata-Albert

Ora my name is Santana I would like to nominate a wonderful and dutifully woman.
She is always there for our school not to mention other people. She is one of
the best Kapahaka teachers you could ever meet. One of the reasons I would like
to nominate her is because she gives up her time to teach us Kapahaka and to lmake
us look good on stage at the end of term three. She’s a very humble person to
me and one top, talented person ever at playing the guitar. I reckon she should
be nominated because she is a kind and wonder full person. Aunty Liz Kereru is my goodsort. Santana

I
would like to nominate Ali Delaney to be a good sort because she is a very
helpful person, and she is always at school to help when we have things like
Camp, planting at the wetlands, and she is also a volunteer at St Johns. An example of how she goes above and beyond
is she always helps with cleaning at our school, and with Working Bees, but
mostly with everything. Our School is lucky to have her as part of our
environment! People
who are positively influenced include her family, our school (Te Mahia), and
friends. It makes me feel happy. I think that she is an awesome good sort! My nomination should be considered because
Ali is one amazing person! Tegan
