Talent quest showcases special skills
Building confidence and self-esteem
On Wednesday, May 1, the library at HLC/LTTM was transformed into a live performance stage. The crowd were excited and ready to support each of the performers as they had their turn on stage.
The judges were very impressed by the amazing talent shown by each of the contestants.
One of the keys to learning is building confidence in your ability to succeed. This recognition of your own ability can come from several sources, not just the completion of an academic assessment. It may be obtaining a driver’s licence, completing a building project or tending a garden to harvest.
Each takes effort and perseverance, the same qualities needed to
achieve academic results.
At HLC/LTTM we strive to build this confidence with our students and clients using their existing talents to highlight their ability to succeed in any field they apply themselves to.
In our recent talent quest students got to share their music, performance and arts skills. Participants performed an item of their choice for an audience
made up of wha¯nau, students and staff.
