Senior Leadership Recognition We come now to the recognition awards for our senior student leadership team.

Firstly I will call on the Guest Speaker to present recognition awards to our four senior student leaders:

Phillipa (Pip) Artus

Recognition Award for Arts Director

Naomi Stewart

Recognition Award for Sports Captain

Rosemary Barker

Recognition Award for Deputy Head Girl

Ana Morris

Parent Teacher Association prize for Head Girl

Each year the role of Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl, Sports Captain and Arts Director continues to grow both in scope and responsibility. The way in which these students perform these roles is enhanced by their vision and leadership.

A bequest to the school from the Estate of Minola Grant has generously enabled the school to provide further recognition for our leaders as well as tertiary scholarship funding to be acknowledged later.

I have pleasure in presenting Leadership medals to the student leaders. A presentation will be made on behalf of the student body that they have so ably led, by the incoming 2016 senior student leaders.

I would ask the 2015 student leaders to stand forward and receive their medals from: 2016 Arts Director: 2016 Sports Captain: 2016 Deputy Head Girl: 2016 Head Girl: Well done girls.

Memorie Matthews is a past pupil of Tauranga Girls’ College and presented the MEMORIE MATTHEWS SHIELD to the College in 1969 for it to be awarded to the young Maori woman who has made the greatest all-round contribution to school.

The Shield was carved by Cliff Matthews using Kauri from a desk top of the first school he attended, Otumoetai 1919, and Totara from an old mill in the King Country Bush.

The female twin tongue figures denote citizenship and academic striving in the face of limitations. The heart is to remind that citizenship and academic striving need to be paramount in our heart’s desire for improvement.

God of Nations! At Thy Feet In the bonds of love we meet, Hear our voices, we entreat, God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific's Triple Star From the shafts of strife and war Make her praises heard afar God defend New Zealand.
