Sophie Thompson received the Blake Young Leader Award this term for her excellent leadership and always trying to make a positive change in our community. The award was presented by Emma from Westpac and Sophie received a medal, framed certificate and a bag full of goodies. Sophie is an excellent role model to her peers and always challenges herself to be the best. She sits on the student council representing Kikorangi class, organises and run fun sporting clubs for her peers and younger students and is always positive and happy to help. The award is for Y5-8, so Sophie is one of the younger ones to receive this awesome prize. We hope it continues to inspire her and others to keep taking on more roles and opportunities and making our school and community a better place.
