LUPESINA KORO
Former scholarship student and Head Girl of St Mary's College, Lupesina is the winner of the 2017 Prime Minister's Pacific Youth Award and a 2017 Toloa Tertiary Scholarship winner.
She tutors Maori and Pasifika school leavers tranisitioning to university, and mentors Year 13 boys at low decile Kelston Boys' High on completing successful scholarship applications, volunteers at Mt Eden Prison and works at Auckland City Mission's St Vincent De Paul - all the while working to pay for herself, holding down a student internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers and studying a conjoint degree in Engineering and Commerce at The University of Auckland.
"I have been given a chance, some privilege," she says. "And with privilege comes responsibility. I believe that if you have the opportunity and skills to do something to help others, you should."
