//** Hi my name is Naomi and I am here to talk to you about why it is important to learn about the history of M.C.S. **// // ** The reason why it is important to learn about M.C.S history is because as they say you learn from your mistakes, then you can definitely learn from the past generation. If Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone how would we get in contact with other people? If Selman Waksman didn't invent medicine how will we cure our illnesses? So if these people didn't do these amazing things how could we survive? In conclusion the past helped us make the future. What would we do without it? ** //

** Hi my name is Kryzdul and I'm here to talk about why it is important to learn about the history of Mangere Central School? ** ** Why should we learn about the history of our school?

**//Hi guys my name is Atonio and I am a student at Mangere Central School. //**  **// QUESTION: Why is it important to learn about M.C.S history?

**// Hi my name is Noheed and I am going to tell you why we should learn about MCS history. //**
 * // We should learn about MCS history because we can see how different the past is to the future. Some famous people have attended MCS like Waka Nathan and many more. If you are naughty nowadays you get time out or a letter home, but in the old days, you got the cane or the strap. Those are my reasons why we should learn about MCS history. //**
