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.

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!

My Teacher - Emma Neustroski
Someone who inspires me is Jenny Tappenden. She is a strong woman, who puts up with 25 occasionally naughty children for 30 hours a week . So thats right folks, she's a teacher and not just any teacher, she's my teacher. Being a teacher means that you need to have a tough soul, a strong voice and a good memory and Mrs Tappenden has all of those things.
Mrs Tappenden inspires me because she has such a good heart and willing mind. I think that Mrs Tappenden is a really good role model and she is sensible with a capital S! Mrs Tappenden has a really nice smile, and she encourages us kids to be the best we can be.
So what I'm trying to say, is that, you're such a great teacher Mrs Tappenden!
Congratulations to our winners who each received a Steamers rugby ball.

Leadership Assembly - HEAD STUDENT SPEECH
Well done to Akenese and Cumorah! You both spoke beautifully at today's Leadership Assembly.
You can read their speech below...
Kia ora
everyone. I am Cumorah and this is Akenese and we are the Head Students for
2016.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes
the way and shows the way. By John C. Maxwell. I believe that a leader is
someone who doesn't think they can do it by themselves, but asks for help.
Someone who can depend on to help and does the best for everyone not just
themselves.
Be the kind of
leader you would follow. I believe a leader is someone who doesn't just want to
fit in but is someone who stands out, a person not afraid to stand up for what
they believe in, who leads example. Someone who is not afraid to show who they
really are.
My leadership opportunities so far are
2014 Dynamo and Librarian, one of the 2015 Kahikatea House Captains. And this
year I am an Enviro Team member, Librarian, House Captain, and School Council Member.
I've been able
to lead as a 2014 Dynamo, 2015 Enviro Team member, Totara House Captain and a
member of the School Council. This year I am a Bus Monitor, Enviro Team member,
Dynamo Mentor, House Captain and a member of the School Council.
My goal as a student leader is being more
confident in front of people. To speak up and don't be afraid to express my
voice. To achieve my goal I must get used to talking in front of a crowd and
act more confident.
My goal as a
student leader is being committed, to lead by example and to lead until the
very end, to look at the cup half full not half empty. To achieve my goal, I
need to remember that I represent a lot of students who are relying on me and
that I need to show a positive attitude. I must persevere and not break away
from my goals.
The people who inspires are is my mum and
dad. My parents always have been my idols, they always encourage me to give
every opportunity a go. If they had never told me to listen to my dreams, I
wouldn't be up here.
The person who
inspires me is my Mum. Mum was Head Girl when she was in college. I look up to
my Mum and strive to be like her. If it wasn't for her, I would be a shy little
kid, too scared to give things a go or to take the opportunities available.
There are lots of great leadership
opportunities at Tauriko School. Everyone in the school is a leader in their
own way, even though you might not get an award doesn't mean you can't be a
leader.
If you are
getting a leadership award today, make sure you keep on working and striving to
be a good and respectful leader. Just because you've been chosen today it
doesn't mean that your job is done and that you can sit down and wait for stuff
to happen. This is just your foundation to become a great leader.
Thank you
