Each year the Napier Lions recognise school leaders who demonstrate resilience, service and excellence in our community. One of their goals is to promote the narrative that there are many really amazing young rangatahi in our community who are doing good things. The award reminds us all that our future is in good hands!

Tukuna te rangatahi kia tū, kia whanake.
Allow youth the opportunity to grow.

In September 2023 our Deputy Head Girl, Angel Dean was recognised at the Spirit of Napier Lions Young Achievers Awards ceremony. Angel spoke about her achievements to date and her dreams for the future - studying Physiotherapy at Otago Uni. She spoke about how she has been inspired by her siblings - ka mau te wehi, Angel! Previous Tamatea High School Head Girl and Spirit of Napier Lions Young Achiever Award recipient, Rosie Crawley, was invited to the awards as guest speaker. Rosie won the award just over ten years ago!
