Some of our high-achieving Year 13s were able to come back to school this week for a special lunch hosted by Principal Salvatore Gargiulo. He congratulated them, and encouraged them to stay in touch to inspire a new generation of MHS students to achieve their very best.
Three students have made a commitment to do that. School leaders from 2015 Lupe Fifita, Mele Tapueluelu and Helen Lesa (pictured) have formed a social enterprise through which they plan to provide motivational workshops for our students.
They are being supported to develop the enterprise through Live The Dream, which provides training to help them sharpen their purpose, grow connections, and develop their entrepreneurship capability.
“We’ve called it the 412 Project, after a Bible verse that encourages young people to be empowered and have faith in their abilities,” Mele says.
“We know there is a risk that students get to Year 13 and all they care about is passing papers. We want to create an event that will inspire them to lead a life with passion and inspiration,” says Lupe.
We wish the 412 team the very best for the development of a thriving social enterprise.
All the best too:
- To our 2015 leavers for the start of your next stage in life.
- To our senior students for another strong year of NCEA achievement in 2016.
