On Tuesday, Anzac Gallate the head boy of Cashmere
High came to talk to the Year 7 & 8 learners as part of the Sir Peter Blake
Young Leaders Dream Team, (which is also associated with the Sir Peter Blake
Trust). Anzac told to us about all the opportunities he’s had and chances to
make a difference. One of the many cool things he has done was going to the
Kermadec Islands on the HMNZS Canterbury ship, to help with marine research. It
was very inspiring and eye opening to hear what he has done for his school
along with the Sustainability Council such as reducing energy consumption by
30%! Monitoring health of local rivers, and planted many native trees around
the school. In 2016 the group won the International Zayed Future Energy Award,
which included $100,000 USD which went towards 100 solar panels, a wind turbine
and piezoelectric titles. This was a great chance for our class to see what can
happen when you put a bit of effort into your goals and use a growth mindset.

Hello Saskia year 8,
ReplyDeleteI think your time with Anzac Gallate must have been a blast.
I also think your opportunity to talk to him must have been quite nice talking to each other about your schools and more about your occupational life.

Hello Noah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Yes, everyone was inspired by what he taught, he's an amazing young man only 17 years old and yet accomplished so much. I would recommend that he comes to your school, he came to our school as part of the Sir Peter Blake Young Leader week He has visited a number of other schools in Christchurch such as Ilam and St. Martins already.
I will direct my students to your blog this week. Keep up the great work Noah!
