Blake Thomas receiving his awards from Susan Tinsley
Sir Peter Blake inspired all New Zealanders to dare to dream and to have the drive and determination to make their dreams come true. At Waimata School we all wore red socks or other red
items on Red Socks Day,to celebrate Sir Peter Blake's life and contributions.
Then at our final assembly for the term, Blake Thomas was presented a Sir Peter Blake Young Leaders Award; a medal and a certificate, in recognition of his leadership within his school and the community. Waihi Westpac bank manager, Susan Tinsley presented these to Blake.
Blake plays many sports, with good attitude and fair play. He represented the Waihi Cluster in athletics last year and swimming this year.
He is a great singer and enjoys performing in our school productions. Blake is not a afraid to take up a challenge, (such as speaking in maori at our visit to the Otawhiwhi marae) Most importantly, Blake makes his own decisions and demonstrates a strong sense of justice.
Well done Blake. We are proud of you
