Benjamin Wilson

I am currently studying towards NCEA Level 3 with the plan of heading into mechanical engineering.

I'm a reliable team player with a personable nature and positive communication style, experienced in collaborating with classmates to complete school projects and challenges.

• Communication:
  
  Successfully led and organized a holiday program for multiple years, demonstrating effective communication with both participants and fellow organizers.
  Actively engaged as a PEER support member for junior students, providing a supportive environment through open and approachable communication.
  Collaborated with the sports committee, Moana Council, and ball committee, effectively conveying ideas, suggestions, and updates to enhance the overall experience and outcomes.
  Exhibited strong presentation skills during various school events, conveying information to diverse audiences in a clear and concise manner.
  Proficient in written communication, creating informative and engaging materials for students, parents, and staff.

• Leadership:
  
  My experience in running a holiday program, participating in PEER support, being part of various committees, and my passion for teaching have honed my ability to communicate effectively with diverse audiences. I am not only skilled at conveying information but also adept at actively listening to the needs and desires of students and finding creative solutions through problem-solving. My combination of communication and leadership skills allows me to foster a positive and productive learning environment while continuously seeking ways to improve and enhance the overall experience for all stakeholders involved.
