Wednesday, July 1st — our girl sung solo on stage for the first time. Totally awesome. Something neither Tessa nor I could’ve done in our day.
She keeps amazing us, whether it’s the sports or the performing.
Huge thanks to Mellow Studios and the whole team there for backing her — especially Shatoria, an absolute legend of a teacher. Great song choice too — she sung The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Pretty fitting, given how true those words are to what we try and instill in all our kids.
Shout out too to Te Whānau Tahi as we have no doubt that without Kapa Haka in her life, this would’ve been a much harder mountain to climb.
Can’t wait to see what she does next.
