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 17th 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 45 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
$45 (with a group discount) and the cost of the bus is $5 per student, making
the total cost $50 per student.
If your child is interested
in attending the National Young Leaders Day on Wednesday 17th May, please make payment direct to the
office, or send $50 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
