Old boy, Lloyd Maole, was a special guest speaker at the Pasifika homework club on Wednesday.

Mr Maole gave an account of his time at OBHS and life out in the real world. From doing the milk run at age 8 to working at a bakery during high school, he spoke about how he progressed through jobs and finding himself through the opportunities he was given at school and the chances he took at Polytech and University. A big theme of his presentation was the importance of being a 'good man'. Mr Maole is now a consultant, working with CEO's of companies around New Zealand and the world.

Mr Maole will attend homework club every Wednesday in Term Two, bringing with him guest speakers from around the business community and the Pasifika community to share words of wisdom with our young men.

We would like to thank Mr Maole for his time and for his uplifting words. We look forward to working with him next term.
