The Board of Trustees thought highly enough of Nicola to give
her the award for Overall Excellence in her Yr 11. While Nicola's
talents stretch from Science to Sport, she has a particular passion
for the Arts. She has received many awards in and out of school
which resulted in her becoming the school's Arts and Cultural
Captain in 2002.
During the scholarship Nicola developed a comprehensive working
relationship with Warehouse Stationery through retail experience in
their Auckland stores. Her interest in people aligned with their
passion for excellence in customer service. It also led her to
study Sociology at The University of Auckland, graduating with a
Bachelor of Arts in 2005.
