Believe in yourself! - Inspire Tour 2018

Covenant Events brings their 'INSPIRE TOUR' to Point England!

It was an awesome time for all our year 7 and 8 students.  Learning valuable lessons for life right now and into the future!

Here are some gems from the show:


  • How can we achieve the goals we set ourselves? Have you set yourself a goal?  Do it!
  • ASK - don't be afraid to ask for help.  It's the best thing to do when you're stuck. People WANT to help you!   
  • BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - having the confidence to give things a go is another key to achieving our goals!

Through play, song and dance Mayo and Levi entertained and taught us.  It's very likely a message we've heard from our own families, teachers and friends, however, it's always good to hear again.  Maybe for some of us we haven't heard it said enough.

Our Year 7 & 8 boys had the privilege of spending some time, up close and personal, with these two talented young men.  They got to have some real talk about being Pasifika, Maori and Kiwi boys who CAN achieve what they want to.

Thank you Levi and Mayo/Covenant Events for this wonderful experience.  No doubt other Manaiakalani schools will be keen to have you visit them too!

Malo lava le faasoa ma taumafai auā fanau a le Pasifika ma Aotearoa!
