Last Monday Robin Aitken and I attended the Rotary Club of Upper Hutt Christmas dinner and had a chance to meet Dylan Davey (the student we are co-sponsoring to the Rotary National Science and Technology Forum, being held in Auckland in January). We also met his parents and brother.
Dylan did a great presentation, telling us how he moved to New Zealand from South Africa when he was nine and went to Silverstream Primary school, Ferguson Intermediate and is now a student at St Patrick's Silverstream. He spoke about how he became interested in sport (in particular rugby) and then in Year 9 at school he developed a passion for science. Dylan has recently been appointed as Deputy Head Boy for 2024 at school.
I think Dylan will be a fantastic candidate to represent us at the forum and we look forward to hearing from him after he has attended.
