Student Leader

Kia Ora koutou ko Shailay toku ingoa. I am proud to be a student Leader because I believe that I will be very helpful and that I am always a role model. I set a gorgeous example for our teina and I help teina understand difficult things and I teach them good manners on the mat.

I think that Te Kura o Maarawaewae is the best school because we have the best teachers and staff.
