This term the Year 7 and 8 tamariki are completing a Careers Unit.

This is focused around learning what skills and qualities are needed for their future endeavours. We have been so lucky to have the support of some amazing members of our community coming in to talk with us about what they do and how they got to where they are today.
So far we have had presentations from:

Jordan Te Whaiti - A junior doctor at Christchurch Hospital who talked to us about what it takes to be a doctor and taught us the art of suturing on bananas!

Kane Stewart - Owner of Egg Academy, who spoke about how important creativity and ICT are for our future and that gaming can actually be a great career!

Maddie Davidson - An Olympic Trampoline Gymnast who spoke about all the challenges and achievements she has been through to make it to this legendary level!

David Rusbatch - A prosecuting lawyer with the Christchurch Police Department. David told us about all the qualities needed to be involved in this super interesting career!

We are so grateful to these experts for giving up their time to come and talk to us!
