Chloé Hickin
TOP AWARDS ELIZA EDWARDS MEMORIAL AWARD Chloé Hickin The Eliza Edwards Memorial Award is made to a student leaving the School who throughout her schooling has contributed to many school activities, shown high personal standards, and has exhibited the qualities inherent in the foundation of the School. Chloé started life at Dio in Year 7 and instantly threw herself into activities at the School, joining service, sports and arts groups, contributing to the school student newspaper, and marking herself out as a young woman of integrity, maturity and responsibility. Even at that stage, Chloé demonstrated the qualities of servant leadership. She works with others in a way that empowers them, rather than pushing herself into the limelight. These same qualities operate in the classroom where her insightful

approach to learning and her willingness to contribute to the discussion and debate enable others to grow as well. This year Chloé has been the Student Services Prefect and, despite the limitations of lockdown, has worked on initiatives with her council that supported the wellbeing of others. Their work culminated in a set of resources being produced for each year level and under Chloé ’s leadership every member of the council contributed. Chloé has ensured that student voice around wellbeing issues will be at the forefront of our ongoing work. She stands up for her beliefs and is a strong role model for being comfortable in her own skin. Chloé is also a successful academic student who has received Academic High Distinction, the Year 13 Service Award and a University of Otago Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship. Congratulations Chloé on being the recipient of the Eliza Edwards Award for 2020.
