On Wednesday evening, Miss Tanuvasa, Ms Brown and our Pasifika students attended the POPO Health Sciences Careers Talanoa in Dunedin

We heard from a panel of speakers who each work in different areas of health, as well as students currently studying nursing, dentistry and physio. They shared their journeys into health and talked honestly about their experiences along the way.

One of the big messages from the evening was that the path to success is never straight, and we don’t need to have a perfect plan. Resilience was another strong theme throughout their stories: don’t let setbacks get you down, and don’t let your failures define you. What matters is how you stand up from them and keep moving forward.
