Last week, Ava Dravitski participated in the Southwest Kāhui Ako speech competition, delivering a fantastic speech about ‘Making a difference in the world’.

Ava emphasised the power of giving to others, growing in confidence, and stressed that if you don't know what you want to do when you leave school, to reply with “I am unsure, however I know that I want to make a difference”. Ava placed first in this speech competition. We are extremely proud of her!
