Liverpool Young Achievers Awards

22 November 2023

I acknowledge the accomplishments of Liverpool's young achievers, who were celebrated at an annual awards ceremony earlier this month. The Liverpool Young Achievers Awards recognise local primary and high school students who demonstrate academic excellence, sporting prowess, exemplar citizenship or artistic brilliance. Students can receive up to $1,000 in cash prizes to further enable their pursuits. I acknowledge the achievements of local high school winners Vladyslav Verlovytskyi, Malia Fifita and Audrey Brodie, as well as primary school winners Moeakiola Falepapalangi and Oluwadamilola Abiola Ishola. I also congratulate Liverpool's highly commended students Whetu Marama Aperahama-Takiari, Jasmin Chouchair, Blake Marson and Fgar Khayoon, who made significant strides in their disciplines. These accomplishments are a testament to the tenacity of our young people and to the dedication of their teachers, school communities and families. I thank Liverpool City Council for sponsoring this initiative, and I look forward to seeing the young achievers of today blossom into the heroes and problem solvers of tomorrow.
