Young Leaders Day

National Young leaders day 2010

Grace Madden, Phoebe MacLeod and Kayleigh Duncan


It was the 26th of May and at 1pm and we had left Hawera Primary School for the Young Leaders Conference in Palmerston North. When we got there we found our motel and then got our togs and went to the pools.After, we went to Valentines buffet,they had lots of yummy things.We went to bed at 8:30 but we didn't go to sleep till 12:30pm!! Miss Barraclough and Mrs Williams were not happy.

The next day we were all up at 7 o'clock and getting ready for the Conference.Mrs Williams had made us some lunch for the big day. By 8 o'clock we were on our way to the Conference at the Regent Theatre.We were an hour early so we went to have a hot chocolate at the cafe across the road.

At about 9:30 we left the cafe to go to the theatre. After we got in Mrs Williams went to the service desk and got us all a Young Leader gold badge. There were 5 speakers altogether and there names were Nick Tuitasi, Allison Mooney, Pat Buckley, Dayna Vawdray and Rob Harley. We celebrated the Young Leaders Conference 10th Birthday!


I learnt that in life sometimes we get knocked down - "Don't get bitter - get better"
"Bring brilliance to others" - encourage others to achieve and help others out
Surround yourself with the right people - don't give in to peer pressure
I also learnt that my personality is like a golden retriever - I am a peaceful person!

Thank you Mrs Sullivan for choosing me as a representative for our school. I really enjoyed the Young Leaders day and learnt a lot.

  1. I think that you must of had fun. I saw Grace wearing her gold badge and it looked FANCY, I think that it had the masterchef sign on it. It looked cool. I think that you three girls were really spoilt by Miss Barraclough and Mrs Williams. The writing that you guys wrote had alot of information in it and you guys are in the student council as well you are lucky
