MOUNT ROSKILL, Tāmaki Makaurau – In a powerful homecoming that blended pride, whakapapa, and inspiration, Māori footballer Adam Kanui Bell returned to Mt Roskill to speak at the annual Māori graduation ceremony.
The event that celebrates the achievements of Māori students across the Mt Roskill campus was attended by hundreds of school students, whanau and staff.
For Bell, a former student of both Mt Roskill Intermediate and Mt Roskill Grammar School, the moment was deeply personal.
“A couple of years ago I walked these same halls,” he told the crowd. “Now I’m back, not as a student, but as someone who hopes to inspire.”
Enjoy a memorable evening of recognition and inspiration as Adam Kanui Bell shares the moment with proud whanau.
