The Prime Ministers Vocational Excellence award is aimed at raising the status of the vocational study and recognising the achievements of students excelling in vocational education. The award also aims to inspire students to plan more carefully how their subject choices lead on to careers that suit their skills and abilities.
Mairehau High School is pleased to be nominating a Year 13 recipient for the Prime Minister’s Vocational Excellence Award. In the inaugural year, the school is nominating an exceptional young man who has a clear pathway for his future.
He has shown a willingness to help in many school extracurricular activities and events in 2019; he is an exceptionally important member of our Outdoor Education team. He has contributed to a role in our Student Executive team.
This year he has been actively involved at ARA Institute of Canterbury, completing a dual enrolment programme in outdoor education and sustainability. He is on our Gateway pathways programme, which he successfully completed at Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre. He has been offered an internship at the Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre in 2020.
His Year 13 Dean, Mr Lee describes him as:
- Always positive
- Through adversity, he still does his best.
- Selfless, always putting others before himself.
- Confident leader
- Empathetic towards other students.
- He is patient, generous, adventurous, sincere in his manner and has an ability to build positive rapport with others.
- His passion for the outdoors has been developed at School and he will be an amazing Outdoor instructor.
He is self-driven, knowledgeable, and capable in the area of outdoor pursuits. He has an outgoing and friendly personality and has been described by his OE teacher as “one who would give you the shirt off his back.”
Mairehau High School endorses him as a nominee of this award, and we have no doubt that he will make the most of this opportunity. The 2019 inaugural Prime Ministers Vocational Excellence Award is presented to Joshua Schuurman.
