Wildboy

Today we have Brando 'Wildboy' come and speak to the students of Hokowhitu School. He talked to the children about his journey of walking around New Zealand using the coastline. It was great to hear him talk about resilience and working through the little goals to get to the big goals.

He then took 16 children to participate in a variety of activities after morning tea.

For every student in TKA that writes about something they learnt from his talk they will get a STRIVE voucher.
