Sir Peter Blake Award

Sir Peter Blake believed in the incredible potential of young Kiwis to achieve great things. He knew that inspiring leaders of any age could be found in every corner of New Zealand. Sir Peter showed all of us there are leaders and there are dreamers. Leaders make things happen. Dreamers have a vision. The truly special people do both. In that spirit, and in partnership with Westpac, our Young Leader Awards celebrate young people whose outstanding leadership uplifts their school community.

Blake Evans from our class received this award.

The Award was presented By Mr Pete Caddle from Westpac. We really enjoyed what he shared about himself and that he recognised when he needed to make changes. He talked to us about the process of achieving.
