Last Friday this very prestigious award was
presented. In 2013 Dreydon Hughes won and in 2014 Tegan Kereru-Symes. This
award has been created in memory of Sir Peter Blake and the renowned leader
that he was. Earlier in the year, our children were asked to consider a stand
out leader, in their eyes. A clear communicator, encourager, role model,
ambassador, risk taker, lead by example kind of person. The votes this year
were extremely close however I have great honour in announcing that Kristine
Steves-Wesche was the recipient this year. This is what some of our students
and staff had to say…
Kristine has only been at Te Mahia School for a short time however she
has worked hard to find her identity and fit in with her peers and our school
culture. When the students nominated Kristine, they spoke of her patience and
tolerance with the younger students at school. Her integrity in her role as a
leader is taken seriously and leadership tasks are always completed to the best
of her ability. Kristine is determined she will succeed with her leadership
role this year and is busy planning and preparing leadership activities for students
at Te Mahia School.
If you see Kristine
around, please do make a point of congratulating her like we all did at school
last Friday.
