Head Students from TGC and TBC visit Tauriko...

Head Student Visit Leadership Week
On Tuesday the 4th of July we were visited by Madison Randall, Head Girl from Tauranga Girls College  and Flynn Kelly, Head Boy from Tauranga Boys College. They came to speak about their leadership experiences, the qualities they believe makes a good leader and who inspires them. We hope everyone in Years 5-8 enjoyed them coming in,
you all asked great questions.
I loved the part when they said that you don't need a title to stand out or to be a leader.  Jennifer

I enjoyed the part when they said leadership is not about being popular. Troy

We are both looking forward to the rest of Leadership Week.
  Jennifer and Troy

2017 Head Student Profiles...

Kia ora I'm Jennifer MacKinnon


I am 12 years old and a Year 8 student in the Tall Poppies class.  I am a Head Student with Troy Barnett. I’m involved in different leadership roles throughout the school and I am a School Librarian and a Dynamo Mentor. 
The kind of leader I want to be is one who has the confidence to speak in front of large audiences, give everything a go no matter how hard and have a happy attitude towards everything and anyone.
This year I'm looking forward to working with the School Council and organising fun events for the school. I really enjoy hockey, running and gymnastics and also enjoy every opportunity to be active and spend time with my family.  
I'm really excited to work with Troy Barnett as the Head Students for 2017 as we have thought about many possibilities to make the school an even better place. 
I’m also looking forward to meeting new people this year. I’m already imagining the possibilities!     

Hi I'm Troy Barnett.

I'm 12 and I'm in Year 8 at Tauriko School.
 I have been given the privilege to be one of two Head Students for 2017
with Jennifer MacKinnon. 
I am excited about 2017 because we have such a great School Council and we will organise lots of events for you. I'm involved with lots of roles throughout the school.
I'm a Dynamo Mentor, Bus Monitor as well as being part of the School Council.
I think this year will be amazing!!!
