Visit from Sekope Kepu

   

  Sekope Kepu

Today a famous rugby player came to Pt England school, and he was named Sekope Kepu. Sekope told us that his dad said if he was serious about rugby, he needed to run around the block. So he started off by running around the block. After that he started training with gear. He had a talk with team 4 about how he pursued his dreams by being a famous rugby player and how he became a famous rugby player. His children were homeschooled due to lockdown, but now they come to our school. His team leaders dropped off gear for him. 

Sekope was born in Australia and raised in Glen Innes. He played in France, and then in London. The teams he played in were the Warratahs, and then he made it into the Australian team - the Wallabies!

He is currently with the steelers. He started rugby at Tamaki club at the age of 6. 

Thank you for coming to Pt England. And thank you for talking to us about how God will always be with you and talent only takes you so far.
