Yesterday was our graduation and prizegiving. I performed in Kapa Haka, Orchestra and Choir and was pleased to receive a certificate for Excellence in Graphics and Design, which is inspiring if I become an architect.I also got quite a shock when my name was called out for a Whaia te Tikitiki award. There are about 6 for each year group for students who have participated in all areas of school life, Arts, Sports, Academic, e.t.c. Whaia te Tikitiki is our school motto. It means Reach For The Heights, and it's in Maori. I was very, very happy to get this award and had a long citation read about me!
This is my award:
WHAIA TE TIKITIKI
REACH FOR THE HEIGHTS

Congratulations on your graduation! Sounds like you have been an "all-round" achiever.
I like your motto also. One of my schools was "Aspire the Heights". These are words that can really inspire those who are self-starters.
All the best in your web2.0 journey.
