Our College is steeped in history dating back to 1854. It is 166 years old and one of the oldest schools in Aotearoa and I am very proud to be the student leader of this great College. My connection with this school began when my father was a student in the 1980s and it was always his intention to send his two sons to Te Aute College. It was my dream to attend Te Aute College and follow in my father’s footsteps, so in 2017 I began my journey alongside my brother who was Deputy Head Boy. Te Aute College means so much more to me than just a school. As an example, the strong brotherhood that we form over the years which is a result of living and sharing together with our brothers. Te Aute students have the privilege of a large whānau network and so can travel anywhere around the world and Te Aute whānau will be there to host. The bond, the friendships and the memories will be embedded in my mind forever. This great school has

Being a leader means setting the right path forward and creating a strong foundation for our new students. Teaching and supporting the boys to learn and practice Teautetanga is fundamental, so that when it comes time for them to lead the school, they are ready. As said in our College Haka “mate atu he toa, ara mai rā he toa” One leader falls, another shall rise to take his place
