Olympian inspires Year 9 athletes

 

What does it take to get to the top? Ask students’ in Long Bay College’s Year 9 Athlete Development Programme who were inspired last week by a presentation from NZ Olympic ambassador, Barbara Kendall. The 5 time Olympian (and 3 times medallist) shared some key insights with our students’ about the importance of attitude, planning, having a supportive team and looking after your health and well-being.

We are now confirmed finalists in two categories at the New Zealand Education Excellence Awards 2026:

  • 🏆 Excellence in Quality Teaching & Instruction
  • 🏆 Excellence in Raising Student Achievement

A real thank you to our staff and students, and to the wider Long Bay whānau who get in behind everything we do.
