Today Zach from R2 got the surprise of his life when the 'Close Up' film crew arrived at assembly with Kerry, the Managing Director of ANZ Retail to announce the winner of their Future Captains competition! Yep, that is right he won it! 33,000 entries and he won the biggest prize of them all. 96 children from around NZ were lucky enough to win the honour of escorting rugby world cup teams onto the field and standing with them as they sing their national anthem. Zach gets to do the final! Not only that but he will escort the All Blacks out if they are there. After this, him and his Mum get some of the best seats in the house for the game. This was just magic to watch!!
After the presentation all the children got a small prize and 'Close Up' spent the afternoon filming with Rachel, Zach and the whole family.
Tune in to tomorrow nights Close Up to see it all. If you are coming to the disco the school will have a disc or make sure you record it.
Go the All Blacks!
This is so awesome and very well deserved. Go Zach! We will be looking out for you on the finals.
