Head Students

Leadership Week day 1. 

Monday 29th June 2015

Today we had the Head Girl and Head Boy from Tauranga Girls and Tauranga Boys Colleges visit our school - Ana Morris and Te Purihi Moana - they came and talked to our Year 5-8 students about their leadership experiences. 

We enjoyed listening about their childhood experiences and their leadership journeys, as well as their inspirations and passions. 

Some of the key messages were:

• Take every opportunity 
• Get involved in things you love
• Persevere through the ups and downs 
• Challenge yourself to be your best
• Present yourself well 
• Have good time management
• Have faith in yourself and others

We really enjoyed having morning tea with you guys, talking and asking questions.What a great start to our Leadership Week!
