“I urge every boy to embrace all opportunities and seize the moment. It is those who jump on any opportunity in life who build their own pathway to success.” BenMarshall-Lee
What are your interests? • I am really into the outdoors. We do a lot of snow skiing at Treble Cone in winter, and then spend heaps of time in summer on Lake Wanaka water skiing. At school, I am really into athletics (mainly the long distance events), and cross country in the winter. I also like to do multi-sport events when I can, and love to head up into the hills and go mountain biking. What is your background? • I grew up in Wellington and left there when I was seven.
We came to Christchurch and I went to Fendalton Primary School. From there, I had a year at Cobham Intermediate, a year at Medbury, and then started College in Year 9. What is your message for the College juniors? • As junior boys, you will not realise just how quickly your time at College will fly by. I think you should take as many opportunities as possible because I know my time has been made really enjoyable by the experiences I have had
and the relationships I have formed. Most of these have come through school trips and House activities. We are very lucky that College presents us with so many opportunities, but we must not take them for granted. I urge every boy to embrace all opportunities and seize the moment. It is those who jump on any opportunity in life who build their own pathway to success.
