Mr Maurice Doughty has been awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his contribution to the New Zealand Fire Service and Ms Jillian Corkin will become a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to education. Mr Doughty has been involved in the fire service for 56 years and with his brothers and his nephew, the family have clocked up around 270 years of service to the fire service combined. “I think [the medal] is not only recognition of my years of service but recognition for the whole family. That aspect of it makes me very proud.” Mr Doughty was born in Auckland and first joined the Auckland Metropolitan Fire Brigade at Point Chevalier in 1960 and moved to Mangawhai in 1996. He retired as an operational firefighter in 2014 and has continued his involvement as Nor thland Fleet Coordinator. He was also the volunteer Civil Defence Coordinator for the Mangawhai area for the past five years, stepping down last year. Mr Doughty says he could not have kept up his service for as long as he did without the support of Judith, his wife of almost 52 years. Ms Corkin has had a 30 year career in education and retired in 2015 as founding principal of Snell’s Beach School. She puts her dedication and success down to her passion for the education sector. “I have really been passionate about

all of the various jobs I have had in the education sector over the years. I loved having the ability to contribute towards education for children and advancing the sector. “I have been really lucky to have a career that I enjoyed and because of that the more I got involved the more I got hooked.” She has also been principal of Victoria Avenue School in Remuera and Pakuranga Heights School and helped establish principal training courses at Massey University in Palmerston North and Albany. Ms Corkin has been elected as vicepresident and president of the Auckland Primary Principals’ Association. After her retirement Ms Corkin was convenor of the 2016 Trans-Tasman Conference and worked to organise the hosting of more than 900 delegates from
