HEAD OF SPORTS PREFECT, 2008
At school Katie was noted as a conscientious and highly
motivated student. Her hard work and commitment to her studies was
recognised when she was awarded the highly respected Colgan
Scholarship for all-round excellence in Yr 11. Throughout school,
Katie actively involved herself in playing & coaching Netball
and, drama productions. After attending an Auckland City Council
Environmental Conference for Sustainability, she and two fellow
students initiated an Environmental Committee at school.
Angela Aprea from KiwiRail stated; "What impressed us most during
the interview with Katie was her energy and commitment to
everything she chose to be involved in."
Katie is interested in Sports Management and has made moves towards
fulfilling this desire by studying a Bachelor of Sport and
Recreation at AUT. Despite a number of personal challenges
with injuries during the first Semester of 2011, Katie is
persevering with her tertiary study whilst working part time at
Sport Auckland where she is looking at fundamental movement skills
in children.
