KAWERAU DISTRICT COUNCIL
             YOUNG ACHIEVER AWARDS

Nominations close 24 September 2010


The Young Achiever Awards were introduced by Councillor Maureen Laugesen during her term to recognise the high level of achievement by many of the students within the Kawerau District.

Nominations for awards are called for each year in August for students who in the previous 12 months have attained regional, national or international recognition in their sporting or academic field.

2010 has seen the committee introduce a new section:
 An individual who has attained high achievement in a recognised transition to work programme.

A sub-committee considers each nomination and, based on the criteria, either approves or declines the application. All successful candidates are invited to a public ceremony hosted by the chosen school. Usually about 50-100 students qualify for an award each year.  Parents, grandparents and teachers are also invited to attend. The host school provides a guest speaker and entertainment as part of the ceremony followed by afternoon tea.
