📢 Project Wy 2026 is now a wrap!

🎉Congratulations to our Rowandale leaders and their families for making the travel to Tauranga yesterday for Project Wy. After enduring some icy cold 6am trainings in the lead up to the 10km run, nothing was going to stop our student leaders and their families from crossing that line and claiming their medal. 👏🏽

💪🏾If you want to know what the PRIDE values look like in action, if you want to know the cost and sacrifice that comes to grow our people, these amazing student leaders and their families are our living examples.

🙏🏽A special thank you to the Project Wy team, Mr Vasau, and our amazing Rowandale Community for supporting the success of our student leaders. Onward and upward! 🫡💯

Mr Busby 👍❤️
