Myconnection with this school began when my fatherwas a student in the 1980s and it was always his intention to send his two sonstoTeAuteCollege. Itwas my dreamto attendTeAuteCollegeandfollowin myfather’sfootsteps, 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 theretohost.
