Summary
I am a hard worker who will try my best to collaborate and work efficiently with others. During my final year of high school (year 13) I was the māori and Pasifika prefect which required a lot of communication and organisation. I was responsible for putting together workshops, activities and events for the other students and teachers to take part in. These events aimed to bring about the inclusiveness of culture and awareness of Māori and Pasifika cultures in our school.
