SPORT AT MAUNGARAKI

Maungaraki School —

Our Sports Leaders are enjoying supporting the younger students with games.

SPORTS ACADEMY

Our Sports Leaders had an interview with Jordan Kahu today. Jordan plays for the Brisbane Broncos and NZ League team. Among other things we asked him about what it takes to succeed at the top level of sport. He spoke about making good choices and perseverance. It was neat to speak to him - our leaders were full of enthusiasm following the chat, thanks Jordan.
