B SPORT WAITAKERE EXCELLENCE AWARDS Avondale College was well represented at the Sport Waitakere Excellence Awards last Friday night at the Trusts Stadium, with a number of past and present students winning awards. Our Premier Netball team topped off their stellar year by winning the Secondary School Team of the Year award, and netballer Grace Nweke added yet another award to her already impressive tally this year, winning the prestigious Secondary School Sportsperson of the Year. Grace was also a member of the Waitakere U17 Netball Representative Team that won L-R: Grace Nweke, Lavinia Latu & Brianna Folomae the Team of the Year award! Three former students also won awards: Weightlifter Kanah Andrews-Nahu won the Junior Sportswoman of the Year, surf life saver Lucy Makaea the Pacific Island Achievement Award, and Luisa Avaiki the Coach of the Year Award and the Trusts Supreme Award for her involvement with the Vodafone Warriors. We were also proud of our students and alumni who received nominations for awards: Angelina Revell-Lewis for Official of the Year (Athletics), Misha Lingampalli for Sportsperson of the Year (Badminton), Sian Hancy for Sportsperson of the Year (Weightlifting), and alumni Ajaz Patel and Jeet Raval who were both nominated for Sportsman of the Year (Cricket).
YOUNG ENTERPRISE AWARD Two Avondale College teams participated in the Young Enterprise Scheme this year, with one team, Takky Limited, winning a West Auckland regional award for showing strong determination in developing their project despite obstacles that kept getting in their way! The team was well led by Simran Tak, who was also awarded the EY Individual of the Year for West Auckland; the top individual prize in the competition! This was just reward for reward leadership, hard work and determination. It is an outstanding achievement for Avondale College and the L-R: Merlin Babu, Simran Tak and Tristan Mona Commerce Department.
