Sir Peter Blake

What leadership means to me:

Being a responsible person that handles the role of leadership by trying to solve problems in a careful and responsible way. They are able to handle situations in a calm way. They get ideas of how to make our world happy.
A captain in a rugby team will make them try hard by being strict but not making them sad or lose interest of the game.
In my role as student leader at Oratia school I ask people around our school how to make our school better, I also give tours around the school for visitors. I feel proud of my role at Oratia school.

I am going to talk about a great leader and his name is Sir Peter Blake.

Peter Blake was famous for yacht racing in New Zealand. Sir Peter Blake was a good leader because he bought New Zealand together. He bought New Zealand together by setting goals and constantly keeping on trying to achieve his goal. It was to win the America's cup, and how did he achieve that? Well he was using teamwork. He led his team to victory by setting goals and being a good leader.

Sir Peter Blake was a great leader because he believed in himself and New Zealand believed in him and we appreciate the honour that he gave to New Zealand.

 Another New Zealander I believe to be a role model to young New Zealanders is Ricardo Christie.

Ricardo is a world champion surfer. He represents New Zealand for WSL AKA World Surf League.

He's a great leader because he sets his goals and is achieving his goals.

I personally look up to Ricardo and would love to be like him one day. I also believe he's a great hero because he spends time with young New Zealanders to teach them how to surf. Ricardo came out to Phia and gave up his time to teach a bunch of us young keen surfers his skills.

Ricardo Christie was an inspiration to all us there that day.                                                                               Go to this link of Ricardo surfing https://youtu.be/Xk36nLB2alM
