I woke up feeling very nervous but also excited about my first day at Rotorua Lakes High School.
I proudly got into my uniform and after photos and lots of rushing around, Mum dropped me off at my new school.
We all met by the flag pole and then were
welcomed into the DC Price Auditorium with a rousing, spine-tingling powhiri.
I waited nervously to find out which house group I was going to be in and if there would be anyone I knew.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the different activities we did on our first day.
