WAKA Award of the week - Priya Sharma - Excellence Through Dedication

WAKA Award of the week - Priya Sharma - Excellence Through Dedication

Year 10 student Priya's commitment to learning brings outstanding results.

Priya is an exemplary Year 10 student at Onehunga High School and our final WAKA Award recipient for 2026. She is a polite, respectful and kind member of our school community who works diligently to improve and succeed in her learning. She is recognised by her teachers for her strong work ethic and commitment to her studies, which is reflected in the excellent progress and success she has achieved this year.

Last term, Priya was awarded her Gold LAC badge, recognising her consistent demonstration of our school's core values. She has also received a Bronze Academic badge and is close to achieving her Silver Academic badge. These achievements reflect her determination, perseverance and commitment to excellence.

Priya's hard work and thoughtful nature make her an outstanding role model and a valued member of our school community. She is a very deserving recipient of our final WAKA Award for 2026.

As we celebrate our final WAKA Award for the year, we congratulate all our 2026 recipients for consistently upholding our school values and setting a positive example for others. Each has made a valuable contribution to our school community.

Ka mau te wehi, Priya, and all our WAKA Award winners!
