Kia ora everyone, I hope you’re having an awesome week. My name is Hayley Young and I am the Stars Programme Coordinator here at Hornby High School.

I have been a part of the Graeme Dingle Foundation for 5 years now working as a Kiwi Can

Leader, Kiwi Can Team Leader, and now both the Kiwi Can Assistant Coordinator and Stars

Programme Coordinator. I enjoy every minute!

For those of you who don’t know, Stars is a mentoring programme which runs between

Year 12 and Year 9 students to create a positive school culture. We have 32 amazing Peer

Mentors this year who are doing such a wonderful job. Thank you so much to all the Year 9

kaiako for helping these sessions to run smoothly.

I am just sending a quick hello to introduce myself and to let you know you will see me

around school most Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. My office is situated in T block so

feel free to say hello any time.

I have enjoyed starting my role in your amazing kura. It is such a kind, supportive and happy

place to be so thank you for this.

Ngā mihi nui,

Hayley Young

Stars Programme Coordinator
