Leander Huiarangi - Rugby
What an amazing year the Katikati College First XV have had, finishing the season as winners of First Division this year. This is the ultimate achievement for a coeducational college First XV and follows an incredible three year journey under the coaching leadership of Leander Huiarangi. We cannot help being so proud of our boys, who they are and the futures they have ahead. This is mostly because of the mahi Leander and his coaching and management teams have put in over the last three years. The impact this has had on the overall culture of the college cannot be underestimated. Leander has been a game changer for our boys, both on and off the field. We believe he deserves Coach of the Year and thank him for all he has done to develop our Rangatahi and rugby at KKC.

Aongatete Forest Restoration Trust
This group do an amazing amount of work in the Kaimai forest with the aim to restore plant and wild life. To achieve this, volunteers are doing pest control which involves poisoning ship rats and possums. Ship rats eat native lizards and invertebrates and raid bird nests for eggs. These rats are prey for stoats and feral cats, so they attract additional pest animals to forest. Possum are also a problem in the Aongatete forest - they raid bird nests and strip the forest of much of its foliage.
