Rosehill College has been more than just a school to me—it has been a place of growth, challenge, and opportunity. Throughout my journey here, I have been shaped by the experiences, people, and lessons that have guided me towards becoming the leader I am today.
One of the most valuable things I have learned is the importance of connection—whanaungatanga. Leadership is not just about taking charge, but about listening, learning, and uplifting those around you. The diverse and supportive community at Rosehill has taught me that true leadership comes from understanding different perspectives and working together towards a shared vision.
As I step into this role, I am proud to represent a kura that values respect, resilience, and unity. I look forward to giving back to the school that has given me so much and helping others find their own path to success.

Rosehill College isn’t just a place of learning—it’s a community that builds character, shapes ambitions, and pushes students to grow beyond their own expectations. It’s a kura where connections are formed, challenges are embraced, and every student has the opportunity to discover their own strengths.
When I first arrived as a Year 9, I had no clear direction, but through the experiences and support offered here, I’ve developed into a leader with a strong sense of purpose. This school has taught me to step outside my comfort zone, take on new challenges, and embrace opportunities that once felt out of reach.
As I take on this role, I’m proud to represent Rosehill College and give back to the kura that has helped shape who I am today.

Rosehill College has taught me that leadership is about nurturing growth—not just in myself, but in those around me. Guided by our core values of Hihiritanga, Rangatiratanga, Whanaungatanga, and Manaakitanga, we create an environment where growth flourishes in every aspect of our lives. These values are more than just words; they are the foundation of how we learn, lead, and support one another.
Leadership isn’t reserved for a select few—it’s an opportunity for everyone to embrace their potential and lead with empathy. This supportive kura has empowered me to explore my passions, develop resilience, and focus on progress over results. Through diverse opportunities, I’ve learned to embrace every experience and uplift those around me.
At our kura, success isn’t measured by where you end up, but by who you become.

For me, Rosehill has provided countless opportunities to showcase my abilities, refine my skills, and grow as a leader. It is a place where recognition and opportunity go hand in hand, and where we are encouraged to connect, laugh, and be ourselves. The teachers at Rosehill offer invaluable support and thoughtful guidance, helping us work towards our goals.
As we strive for personal excellence, our journey at Rosehill is filled with growth, learning, and self-discovery.
