Here are some of the hero photos!
Here are some videos of NYLD 2013
What the kids had to say:
National Young Leaders Day
Heroes are all around us. They could be famous, they could be our family or maybe they're just a good person. Heroes are also the people we look up to. Well, at least that's what we learned at National Young Leaders Day.All of the speakers at NYLD had an unique hero that helped them achieve their dreams. There were many inspiring speakers at NYLD including, Rachel Taulelei, Billy Graham, Alison Mooney, Charlie Laumatia and Cam Calkoen. I loved what all the speakers had to say, but the speaker that got to me the most was Cam Calkoen.
Although Cam had a disability, he still went on trying to achieve his dreams. And, with a little help from his hero, he did. Cam is now a gold medalist runner for New Zealand in the paralympics. His message was that no matter what, you can achieve your dreams if you stick to them.
Even though I still haven't found my dream yet, I found that all the advice I got will help me in the future. The important thing I need to remember is that I should never give up in myself, others or my dreams. When I do that, I will discover my true potential, and maybe then, I can be my own hero.

National Young Leaders Day 2013
On Monday 10 June 36 year 6 students went to the Michael Fowler Centre to attend The National Young Leaders Day 2013.
There were five speakers who were: Rachel Taulelei, Charlie Laumitia, Alison Mooney and Cam Calkoen. They were very inspiring and funny.
We had to write down notes of what the speakers told us. We were very lucky to have the chance to go.
After lunch we sat down and sang “Hall of fame”, Then to top that off, there were giant inflatable bouncy balls!
Towards the end we had a special guest: Jamie McDell! She sang two songs that were her new song angels and another song that I forgot the name of.
It was a great day I will never forget.

National Young leaders day//13
Do you have a hero? Mine are Jared Padlecki and Jetson Ackles, actors for the Supernatural program.
On Monday 10th of June 36 Kererū kids went to NYLD//13 National Young Leaders Day. It was heaps of fun. I want to go next year.
Who were the speakers? You say I’ll tell I say: Billy Graham, a boxer, Rachel Taulelei, Charlie Laumatia, Alison Moony and Cam Calkoen.
My fav speaker was Charlie because he told funny stories like about him and his cousin called Chris. Chris stayed for the night. Charlie’s dad is a Police Officer and he was asleep. Charlie and Chris found the handcuffs.
“Want to play Cops and robbers,” Charlie asked.
“Sure,” Chris agreed.
So Charlie handcuffed Chris to himself. Their dad woke up and took them to the police station.
“Do you know what we do to people who are handcuffed?” Charlie’s dad asked.
“What?” Charlie asked.
“We put them in the cell,” the dad answered.
So there dad put them in a cell for the whole night.
I wanted to go because i want to be a leader when i grow up. When we were there we played three games called Big inflatable balls!, Kryptonite hockey and a dancing contest called Jiggle that smiggle.
