Celebrating a student who attended the Halberg games

November 2, 2022

A celebration for Kahn, from BLENNZ Napier, has been to attend the October Halberg games in Palmerston North. Kahn participated in a variety of events, from swimming to track and field. He was placed in all the events he entered. 

Kahn enjoyed meeting and connecting with the other young attendees. By attending, Kahn gained a greater realisation that he ‘is not the only one out there with challenges.’ 

Kahn further showed his sporting abilities in the National Taekwondo championships in Auckland, winning a gold medal within his classification. He continues to train in both disciplines. 

A development for BLENNZ Napier is the inclusion of the Wairoa Outpost. We welcome the Wairoa ākonga, whānau, and Sonya Newton, Resource Teacher, Vision.
