Kia ora, my name is Hayley, I’m a year 8 attending Matawai School. I live an hour out of Gisborne, with my family of four on a small farm or lifestyle block with many animals and a humongous garden! My family and I are from Australia and moved here in 2016. This year I'm looking forward to the Snr bike ride/camp and another camp later in the year.
At School, I love all subjects, but I find Math the most challenging of them all. One of my biggest goals for this year would be to keep trying my best and progressing in all subjects for high school next year. Some of my favourite things to do in spare time are to spend time with family, friends and animals, along with drawing, playing sports, doing photography, playing the ukulele, writing, silent reading, looking after the environment, driving motorbikes and racing my Go-Kart. My favourite author currently is Justin D’ath and his book 47 Degrees which is based on a true story in Australia about the bush fires not far from where I used to live. That is just one of many books and I'm sure I will find many other favourites throughout the year!
In the future, I’d love to have a job in the medical field and be a paramedic, vet/doctor, police officer or firefighter and if those plans don't work I’d love to travel the world visiting a wide variety of countries and trying new things and cuisine along with inspiring and spreading awareness along the way. Otherwise I'll try to become a professional driver and race F1 cars, motorcross or karting. I’m looking forward to finishing my last year positively and seeing what 2021 brings, I hope you enjoy reading my blog posts! Mā te Wā
