2020 has started with our previous students returning and also some new students starting at our school. Reign is one of our new students and he wrote this letter to Mrs Tofa to introduce himself.

Monday 3 February

Dear Mrs Tofa

I am Reign. I am 13 years old and I am in Year 8.

Attending  Glenbrae School is a fresh new start for me. I will get to know new friends and people. 

My goal is to respect everyone and everything. The way I work is to be perfect. 

This year I will try my best to stay positive and to use my manners. I will say nice words, be an active learner and be resilient.

Sometimes I struggle to work but I just go ahead and try my best to achieve. 

Yours sincerely 
Reign
