Kia ora Koutou, This week we have seen recognition of some of our school leaders at the Young Achievers Awards on Wednesday evening. As you may have seen on our facebook post, the following students were recognised: Freddy Ray-Collier Anais Lawson Kyra Mita Taylan Onan Stella Pinckney Ila Ford-Robertson Puti Puti Rowberry These young leaders are both a testament to their own efforts and hard work and also a positive reflection on the support that we have offered as a school. We will be sad to lose them at the end of this year but we look forward to hearing about their future successes beyond Lakes High. On Thursday evening, DP Pani McLean, Matua Taumata Soloman and I attended a Whanau Hui at Whangamarino School. This was a great opportunity to build connections with our community and discuss how we can promote positive pathways for our students within our school. A big thank you for the warm welcome that we received and for the large turnout of parents listening our to Korero. We are always looking to develop and the feedback we have been given is very helpful. Our artists have been busily working to complete their NCEA portfolios. The culmination of all this hard work was the exhibition on Friday afternoon where students and our community were able to view the boards whilst being entertained with music from our Performing Arts Students. It is great to be able to hold these celebrations of success and I hope that some of you were able to make it to that event.
