Youngest of four, Martin was born in Saudi Arabia but has spent
time growing in India and now Christchurch. His actions
communicate a sincere consideration and appreciation of other
people. He is equally dedicated to his family and to future studies
at university. Awareness that his parents have worked hard and made
sacrifices to give him a good upbringing motivates this young man
to be able to give back to them.
With strengths in creativity and science, Martin does well across
the board. When asked about success he talked about having a
"genuine approach to my work and unquestionable commitment toward
helping people in any small way I can." The integrity of his
character is further played out in his team spirit in sport. Martin
is a particularly strong cricket player and has been Captain for
his school first XI team. He is also involved in a number of
ways in the community from being an altar server at the Sacred
Heart Parish to a volunteer leader at YMCA Holiday
Programmes.
Looking ahead, Martin plans to study either Graphics or Biology at
university, whilst playing cricket professionally.
