A Rising Star in Sports and Culture!

This year Jaylen has made impressive strides in his decoding skills and he's making a conscious effort to read at least three times a week at home. He particularly enjoys graphic novels. On the sports field, he shines brightly in basketball and rugby. His basketball team won the school competition for Years 7 and 8; Jaylen's contribution and commitment to basketball include bringing his basketball to school daily to share and play. This year marked Jaylen's first Kapa haka performance, which was genuinely moving. His mana and courage radiated from the stage, and he was immensely proud to represent his Māori heritage. Watching him perform was invigorating and inspiring for everyone!
