Sitting alongside them while they find their strength and seeing them grow in their self-awareness journey is rewarding." - Sophie, Counsellor at Papakura Family Service Centre “A leader is like a teacher and a good leader is kind, shows respect, works with the team and is a good role model. That is what I want to be."- Selau, Year 5 student at Red Hill Primary School
