Karly-Belle Mitchell-Pita (Taita College)
Beyond her own playing achievements, Karly-Belle is deeply committed to giving back. Virtually all of her spare time is spent supporting other teams, refereeing, and helping local sports thrive. She coaches at Avalon Intermediate and within her school where her rapport with students of all ages is outstanding.
Furthermore, Karly-Belle is the heartbeat of her schools' sporting community. At college she is the person who actively rallies others to get involved, sign up, and take the court. She is always on hand to help out wherever needed. Karly-Belle also regularly referees school teams and across various Hutt Valley basketball leagues. Her contribution as an official, coach, and organizer is truly exceptional.
Thomas Iosefa (Bishop Viard College)
Thomas has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting sport at Bishop Viard College by volunteering his time as an official across multiple sporting codes even when he may not have extensive knowledge of the sport he is asked to officiate.
Thomas's willingness to officiate positively impacts our wider sporting community. By putting his hand up to help, he supports players, coaches and organisers and helps create opportunities for students to participate in organised sport.
His contribution demonstrates that making a difference does not always mean being the athlete scoring the points or competing on the court or field. But by taking on officiating responsibilities, Thomas helps ensure that others get the opportunity to play.
