Many students at our school have the potential to be great leaders. 21 lucky year 7 and 8 students had the oppurtunity to learn from other's successes at the New Plymouth LEAD 2012. The conference featured many inspiring speakers such as Honourable Heika Parata (Minister of Education and Minister of Pacific Island Affairs), Jaimie Fenton (Young New Zealander 2011) Glenn Anderson (Surf Lifesaving), Beauden Barrett (All Black), CEO Panel, Sarah Ulmer (Olympic Gold Medalist 2004) Aimee Watkins (Captain of the New Zealand White Ferns 2009-2011), Lisa Tamati (Ultra Marathon Runner) and Jenny Ellis, the principal of NPGHS. It was a amazing chance for all of us young students to get a taste of leadership and enhance our leadership knowledge.
Hi Guys
ReplyDeleteI thought that lead was a very inspirational conference. My favorite speakers were Lisa Tamati, who told us many of her amazing near death experiences, and Sarah Ulmar, who told us that it's ok to be different.
