Ayla Dellaway | Western Bay of Plenty
This award recognises outstanding commitment and continued success amongst former Project K graduates who have left school and continued on the values of Project K into their career and lives.
The judges said, "Ayla continues to astound all those who meet her. Her ability to overcome her childhood and not only become a wonderful human being and mother but also contribute significantly over a number of years to those in need is extraordinary.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
