Visit from Richie Patterson

Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Richie Patterson. Richie is a light heavy weight weight lifter who has been in the Olympics 3 times and the Commonwealth Games 4 times.
Richie grew up on a dairy farm in Manukau. He competed in his first competition at the age of 16 and he came 8th. Today Richie told us about all the times he had failed he talked about it because he wanted everyone to know that it's okay to fail and everyone has done it . Did you know that Richie makes amazing nacho's he calls them mega nacho's. Richie has won a gold medal at the Olympics!
