The strict eligibility criteria for the award includes passing national qualifying standards for the relevant sport as well as passing a minimum number of academic classes.”

Also in awards news, Grayson Lee from Whangarei was the recipient of the ASB Northland Secondary Schools Sports Award for Ultimate, with Emily Camuso named runner-up. The aim of the awards “was to reward and recognise students who have performed with distinction in their sport”
