Kia ora tatou katoa.

When the Mana of Raleigh House was bestowed upon me, I felt very privileged. I knew I would have to work hard for my House as this year’s House Competition would be very challenging. Throughout the year, I have seen great potential in this House, which gives me hope that we can take home the trophy. I have no idea what the final placings will be but it is safe to say that it has been an honour leading this bunch of boys this year.

I would like to thank all staff members and students who have contributed and supported us this year. If the results aren't what we wanted, I am still proud of what we have accomplished. We definitely stepped up from last year.

I hope the Year 12s have been taking notes on how to lead and I hope next year they will lead us to glory! The Mana of Raleigh is passed into their hands.
