Young Leaders' Conference, Rotorua

On Sunday 22 Y6s travelled to Rotorua for a young leaders' conference. The speakers who talked were Alison Mooney, Tamati Coffey, Paula Fakalata, Alison Shanks, Nakita Turner and Cam Calkoen. Alison Mooney told us that no one is better, they are just all different. Cam Calkoen said, "Dream big. Achieve more." Tamati Coffey  said, "Do what makes you happy. "Paula Fakalata said "  1.Have great friends 2. Have positive thoughts 3. Have a go". Alison Shanks said "  Set goals, Aim high, Dream big".  Nakita Turner said " Forgiveness is major ".

The Porritt children sat in the Unison Events Centre, writing notes about what the speakers are saying.

  

The Centre is filled with children from primary, intermediate and high schools around the North Island

Sounds like you all had an amazing time. Well done on being selected - you all obviously proved to the teachers you deserved to go - what an honour to represent your school at something that big.
