Me Whakamatau – Daphne Martinez
The Me Whakamatau award is for service to student welfare.
Daphne is a motivated, respected and dedicated leader of her peers. As the immediate past student representative on the Board of Trustees, Daphne has represented the student body extremely well and advised them on all aspects of student activities and has contributed to the effective governance of the school.
Netball is a passion of Daphne’s both as a player and coach. At the recent Celebration of Sport Daphne was awarded the Netball Cup for outstanding contribution and dedication to the life of college netball and the Te Huna Family Trophy for commitment and dedication to coaching. Daphne has had a challenging year personally, as an injury precluded her from taking the court for the good majority of the season, but in true Daphne style she quickly sort other roles – statistician, tactician, mentor and motivator. As a coach she has given time and bundles of energy, shared her expertise and knowledge and has been the epitome of exemplary selflessness.
