ON top of the engagement and enjoyment during curriculum sessions we have seen three rangatahi choose to attend Southern Queens Boxing sessions outside of their school hours.  The rangatahi have made their own way to the gym twice a week for the last few weeks.  We are very proud of this and we are excited to see the impacts of having the Southern Queens team visit us. 

Not only are the students attending regular weekly sessions in their own time but they are talking about plans they have for their future.  They are speaking about fitness and physical activity goals, speaking about the weight classes they will join and what that means for them and their long-term commitment to the sport.   They have gained a sense of belonging with Southern Queens and speak highly of the connections and opportunities made with Liu and her team.

All three of my children attend the Southern Queens program, and I can't speak highly enough about it. They all love it there, and it's like being part of a big extended family.

Right now, my oldest is actually staying with Emma as she helps him work through some things. I truly believe it’s one of the best things my children have ever been a part of, and I can see the positive changes it’s making in their lives.

[WHANAKE HOUSE] It was amazing and everyone loved it. These kids headed back to school with experiencing  something really special.
