Our new leaders!

We are into the new year with a great bunch of leaders. To start the year off we are spending some time looking at what great leaders do, say, and think. Here are a few photos of the students learning to work as a team.

We have discussed how junior students look up to and want to be like year 7/8's. This is a real privilege and responsibility to take seriously. They are constantly watching to see how we act.

We used the below video to discuss leadership. Initiative is a really important leadership quality so we have been exploring what it means and thinking about what it could look like at Te Pahu School.


We looked at how being a leader is about inspiring your followers to live life better. We discussed who has inspired them in their lives. We are looking at some inspiring leaders such as Malala Yousafsai. This video is a trailer to a documentary about her. We read an article about her and many of the students will read her autobiography which I am sure they will be inspired by.

I am really looking forward to watching you grow as leaders this year guys. I think you have so much potential and really believe that if you start seeing yourself as a leader you will begin to really have a big influence on the younger students and your friends.
