Florence’s Leadership trip

Hi everyone,

My name is Florence Coffey-Webber and I am a year 13 student at Onewhero Area school. I have been on the leadership team for two years, and have represented my school in, netball, swimming, triathlons, and I have been one of the few hardy students to row for my school up to Maadi cup level. I also row for Mercer Rowing Club and won a team gold in this years North Island Club Championships.

As a Head student this year, I was nominated to attend the 2019 Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC, USA next month.

Having my nomination accepted, I am one of 2 High school students representing New Zealand.

While in Washington I will meet students from around the world, and my aim is to share with them everything that is great about New Zealand. I will also be undertaking a photography/art documentary project as part of my year 13 art course. The project will be taking portraits of other students from around the world attending the conference, including a bio written by them.

My goal is to ultimately present this as an exhibition back in New Zealand.

I have been raising funds to attend the conference so any further help would be greatly appreciated.

To any that live close and might have some casual work I could do, please let me know. I am very used to doing most things as I have done many fundraisers and working bees before.

Thank you so much for visiting this page,

Florence
