Black Sticks NZ Olympic Ambassador visits Gladstone School

It was fantastic to have Kayla Whitelock visit Gladstone School today and inspire us with her experiences around her journey to becoming a world class hockey player and Olympic Ambassador. Kayla developed a passion for hockey early in her life that took her all the way to captaining the Black Sticks and competing in four Olympic Games.

Kayla let a few of our junior students try on her medals.
Senior students lined up to get their hockey gear signed by Kayla
