T1+Literacy+Report+Rimu


 * My Notes ??

Rimu, The cheeky red devils! ** Rimu team is a spirited house in Tauranga intermediate school (TIS) that works together to achieve their goals and can be a very strong team. The cheeky red devils are made out of some of the best teachers and students in the school and although Rimu can work as a great team, it encourages individuality and character.

**Mac v.s. PC** Rimu team is not only special because of its unique teamwork and individuality, but it is also special in another way. They are not just a plain old mainstream class but work with their own Apple MacBooks everyday. Instead of pencils and work books as tools of the trade, Rimu have cameras and Apples to work with. Mac is a very in demand product and sells millions all over the world. Apple’s are easy to pick up so basically anyone can use an apple. Apple’s are aesthetically designed, swift, convenient and very simple to use. Apple is a very trustworthy company and people are seldom unsatisfied with the product they have purchased. PC is another computer brand that is right up there with apple. Some people like PC better because alot more people know how to use a PC so it can be convenient in that way, also PCs are a lot cheaper than apple products.

**Market Research** After completing a full Market Research report it was found that the colours Brown, Blue and Yellow were the colour that people thought of first when thinking about Rimu team.



**Tree’s** The rimu tree stands tall and strong and is usually found in the lower mountains down the south area of New Zealand. Rimu is a slow-growing tree but it can reach heights of up to 50 meters! Although its one of the tallest trees in New Zealand which is probably double that hieght. Rimu tree’s live for about 9 - 11 times longer than you will live so that’s about 800 to 1000 years to live! (Anthony compare this to Rimu team)

**Conclusion** In conclusion, I think that Rimu is a very strong house because of all the great teachers and our unique style of learning. Every time we face our fear we gain strength, courage and confidence in the doing so. Rimu will help you conquer all your fears!
