After a two year hiatus Transition was finally able to have a graduation ceremony for ākonga from 2021 and 2022.  Representatives from the Blundell family came and presented the Blundell awards to four well deserving young people.

The award for 2021 went to Jade Hoera; this young person is an active member of Kāpō Māori and has already represented BLENNZ at the yearly Kāpo Māori conference.  The 2021 merit award went to Tyrese Schwenke.

The award for 2022 went to Riley Hovell-Allomes, Riley has found a path and is proudly walking the talk. Riley is preparing to go on to further study and has set a clear plan for 2023. The 2022 merit award went to Grace Zhen.
