Ethaniel Leaupepe | 15 Years Old | Samoan | Tangaroa college

I am very intrigued in STEM also known as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. I have always had an interest in these topics and was awarded the top STEM award while in Intermediate. I was also chosen to be a part of the year 11 Health Science Academy and is a program that encourages polynesian excellence in science and health careers.

I have since further excelled in these subjects as I have represented Tangaroa College in Mathematics competitions.

Last year I was one of the top Science students and won the top Mathematics scholar award.

I truly believe that this trip is a great opportunity to develop my knowledge and expand my interest in these areas like Science, Math and Engineering.

I am excited to learn more about these areas of study and hope to succeed in a career within one of these fields in the future.

We are almost over the line!!! Wohoooo 26 June 2023

Firstly we want to say thank you to every single friend, whanau, donor, organisation and beyond who have supported these incredible cadets by giving to their give-a-little. We have had some sponsors directly donate and it it's not reflected in the give a little but we are actually nearing the end and are almost there! We have heard that the Otara-Papatoetoe local board is approving some of the cadets a small grant to assist toward airfares and once we know who they have approved we will then know if we have finally reached the goal and who they have funded out of the cadets. Keep posted!
