Dear
Parents/Caregivers,
We would like to offer our students (both those
currently in leadership roles and those who aspire to them) the opportunity to
attend the National Young Leaders Day at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua on
Wednesday 18th May. This is a
whole day event.
An extract from the website http://www.nyldnz.org/ (clips and further
information can be found here) says…
Leaders are often
made, not simply born. We are dedicated to sparking the leadership potential
that’s inside every young person through practical, inspirational events and
leadership resources.
National Young
Leaders Days are the largest and longest running leadership event for primary,
intermediate and secondary school students. These large scale annual events aim
to develop student leadership. Since 2001, more than 110,000 students have been
empowered to fulfill their dreams and become great leaders at a National Young
Leaders Day in New Zealand. NYLD events are also held in Australia and
Singapore.
The objectives of
NYLD are
- Inspiration
- Connection
- Student empowerment
- Promoting positivity
- Motivation
- Education
We have 30 places
booked so, after we have ensured that all interested students who currently
hold leadership roles have a place, we will be extending this offer on a “first
come, first served” basis to those who do not.
Students will take the bus from school at 8.45 am
and, as the event finishes at 2.30pm, we may well be back a little after the
close of school.
Tickets for this
event are $42 (with a group discount) and the cost of the bus is $10 per
student, making the total cost $52 per student.
If your child is
interested in attending the National Young Leaders Day on Wednesday 18th March, please make payment direct to the
office, or send $52 in an envelope, marked with your child’s name and ‘National
Young Leaders Day’ to the office as soon as possible. Please
remember that spaces are limited.
Kind regards
Annette Borgonje
