St. Peter’s has provided me with countless opportunities to explore new activities and step out of my comfort zone. I have taken up sports like football, tennis, golf, badminton, table tennis and even started learning guitar, which has now become a hobby I enjoy. Additionally, I have developed leadership skills, spoken in various assemblies and currently serve as an international and open day ambassador. I am currently studying NCEA Level 3,and with the support of my teachers, I was able to achieve my goal of earning an Excellence Endorsement in Level 2 last year.
