Leaders Visit

Today the leaders were fortunate enough to have a visit from our local labour MP Poto Williams. 

She came in to talk about her role as a member of parliament and a leader of our community. Here are the key things we took away from Poto. 

• Put yourself out there, don´t be scared and no matter what always stand up for what you believe in.
• If you are the only person that believes in something then get together a small group of people who do believe you and use all the different strengths of the group.
• Often you will have to persuade and negotiate with people until they agree with you.
• Being a good leader and a good person also comes with having a lot of values.
• Be compassionate - Kind towards others, help them when they need it.
• Be accessible - Being an easy person to talk to, a person that people can ask for help or take their problems to when they need it. 
• Integrity - This is the most important value of a good leader. Be true to yourself and if something does not feel right in your heart then it´s not right for you and you should not do it. Also when you are true to yourself it makes it easier for other people to trust you. 

Overall I think Poto William´s visit is definitely going to help us improve our skills as leaders and being role models across the school. We are all very grateful that she took the time to come and teach us about leadership. We all really enjoyed it and we can´t wait for the next leader to come and talk to us.
