Josiah Tualamali’i, former Middleton Grange pupil,, current University of Canterbury Political Science and History student, and Pasifika youth leader, won the 2016 Prime Minister’s Pacific Youth Award for Leadership & Inspiration, sponsored by Air New Zealand.
Josiah has overcome personal obstacles to embrace his Pacific identity, and hopes to forge a career as an academic in political science and history. The Prime Minister’s Pacific Youth Award prize – which includes a trip to Geneva to witness leadership on the global stage – will provide Josiah with an invaluable experience in diplomacy and he hopes to share his story to inspire others on his return.
