Young volunteer in Western Bay of Plenty receives Award

Mia Scherrer from Katikati College has been recognised for her volunteering spirit, being named the winner of the TrustPower Western Bay of Plenty Youth Community Spirit Award.

Mia has the personality and passion about others and the community that will continue throughout her life. Last year, Mia shaved her hair off to fundraise money for CanTeen and managed to raise $1,100. At school she is an inspiration to junior students in the fields of drama and music. She has previously been a member of the choir and chamber music quartet, as well as the Waikato University Chamber Music Contest. She is a member of the 40 hour Famine Committee and the Health Committee. Mia is a natural leader; she was involved in a leadership course at her school last year and is attending a World Vision Leadership Camp in Auckland later this year.

Mia is a very giving student - and it is for these reasons she received this Award.
