Today is International Day of the Girl - a chance to celebrate the achievements of young women everywhere and amplify their voices and leadership potential. At Sport NZ, we are proud to support initiatives like the National GirlBoss New Zealand Awards that recognise young female leaders making a difference in their communities.   Like Roman Amosa, winner of the ‘It’s My Move’ Wellbeing Award! At just 16 years old, Roman is dedicated to improving the health and fitness of young people in her community. After finding a gap in suitable training for her age group, she launched FitTeens with the support of her mum, Deeyana. This programme is transforming the lives of around 120 rangatahi, primarily young Pacific people, by offering a variety of workouts - from plyometric training, to strength and cardio sessions. Participants travel from all over Tāmaki Makaurau, with classes now expanding into West Auckland!.   And Tori Wilson, winner of the Sport NZ Activator Award! Tori is the youngest and only operational female firefighter in the Tasman Rural Fire Brigade. Tori volunteers for community events and in-home safety visits, educating everyone - from preschoolers to the elderly - about fire safety. Her role requires not only courage but also incredible physical stamina in her commitment to keeping her Motueka community safe, such as running from school in 31-degree heat to ensure her team is ready for callouts.   Both Roman and Tori exemplify leadership through physical activity. They inspire us all to make a positive impact in our communities.   Let’s continue to support and uplift young women everywhere! 💪

Congratulations to Ta’i Uamaki - Māngere College, Leua Tamati - Ōtāhuhu College & Debbie Bos - Papatoetoe High School on your selfless dedication and amazing service.

Another awesome turn out this morning, as we brought our Counties Manukau Sports Leaders together for our bi-monthly breakfast, proudly presented by our friends at Toshiba. These breakfasts are a great opportunity to connect and network, as well as share progress our team is making in our community, and what opportunities that may present for clubs and codes out South. We were very lucky to have Auckland Council's Sport and Recreation Lead, Kieran Nevey & Aktive's Active Environments Manager Simon Tattersfield present to those in attendance. Thank you to all of our Counties Manukau sports leaders for attending the breakfast, it's always great bringing our community together over kai and korero. We look forward to bringing our leaders together again before the end of the year for a special Christmas get together. Special thanks once again to our hosts Kolmar, Toshiba for their continued support & Foundation North who enable the mahi we do in the club and code space throughout Counties Manukau. #CLMCommunitySport #GetAktiveAKL #ClubConnect  Craig Carter Bernadette Tovio Maia Lewis MNZM Pat Spellman A.K.
