Ngani Laumape Visits CNS and Fearless Four

Ngani Laumape plays for the NRL Warriors. He is an ex-CNS, Monrad Intermediate and Palmerston Boys Highschool student. Ngani was in Miss K's class as a Year 8 at Monrad Intermediate! He came to our assembly today and talked to us about how important it is to follow our dreams and work hard at school and at training. Ngani said that he did a lot of work when no one was watching as he always knew that he wanted to be playing at a top level in his sport. He likes the fact that his job is something that he loves.
Ngani played for the first 15 at PNBHS from the time he was in Year 10! He played for the Warriors in the Toyota Cup last year and has played for the NRL Warriors this season. Ngani only left school last year! Ngani started playing league with the Fielding Falcons. The local Rugby League competition is on Friday nights at the Arena and anyone can play. Pa Ronald said that it doesn't cost anything, "Just rock up with your boots".
Ngani spent a lot of time in our classroom and signed things that the children treasured. They were in awe of him most of the time but asked some very good questions.
Thank you to Ngani for visiting us, it was awesome to see one of our own become so successful. We will continue to watch your games and cheer you on, in fact Trey and Miss K are coming to Wellington in May to watch you play against the 'Doggies". See you there!
