NYLD-National Young Leaders Day

Last week on Thursday the Student Leaders embarked on a journey to the annual National Young Leaders Day at Horncastle arena.

Every year NYLD takes a team of inspiring New Zealanders on the road for a month, holding eight large-scale events across the country for young people in Years 5-8. Through real-life stories told by the people who live them, NYLD aims to inspire the leadership potential in every young person.

We listened to a variety of great speakers, here they are

-Ronnie Taulafo from What Now 

-Kings(Kingdon Chapple-Wilson) The Pop Artist

-Dr Lehan Stemmet, a leadership adviser

-Sala Tiatia, survivor competitor(South Island Only)

-Christian Gallen from the attitude team

 Overall it was an amazing opportunity, and we learnt a lot.  One thing was this motto -  He Aha Te Kai A Te Rangatira? He Korero, He Korero, He Korero, What is the food of a leader? It's a Conversation.

We learnt that conversation can get you the job you want, get you to the place you want to be but most importantly conversation can make you grow as a person and feel connected to others.

Thank you, Your Head Students Lachlan And Paris.
