We kicked-off a legacy. Let’s keep it going.
The 2010 Fifa World Cup™ may be over, but its legacy remains. We came together as a nation united and flew the flag high. Now we need to keep it flying and remind ourselves how we made the event the most successful World Cup in history.

We’ve always known we had it in us, now let us celebrate it. Every Friday over the next six weeks make Friday the day that we celebrate everything that makes us who we are and proud of our nation, our culture and our heritage.

In the build up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, we stood together as a nation in support of our team and country. We learnt a valuable lesson, that together we can do anything we put our souls into. If you pledge that same support to your ‘Class of 2010’, you can give them all the inspiration and motivation they need to succeed, not only in their final examinations, but also in life.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ marked a massive change in the way we saw ourselves and the way the world saw us. We proved our ability to succeed against all odds, to create a legacy to last a lifetime.
This Friday, Fly the Flag for our ability to see things differently, to see challenges where others see obstacles and no matter what, to make a plan. Do something differently and acknowledge how each of us made the world see our country in a new light. Put your soul into it.
- Instead of sending an email, pick up the phone
- Call an old friend
- Celebrate those who have made a difference in your community and join them
- Put a suggestion box up where people can share their ideas on how to do things differently

We impressed the world with our ability to unite for a common cause and create a legacy for our country and children. We now know what we can do when we stand together, so let’s do it again and make sure our country stays beautiful for generations to come.
Fly the Flag this Friday for our beautiful country.
