Congratulations to Ava Yellowlees, the first recipient of the Te Paa Award/ Tohu Toi a Te Paa.
‘Tohu Toi a Te Paa‘ replaces our long-standing Simpson Award and enables Craighead to purchase an artwork from one outstanding painting student each year. This important tradition continues only through the generosity of its donors.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Lara Hearn-Rollo and her husband, Mr Wade Rollo, for their support and for ensuring this valued tradition lives on.
Here is Ava’s winning painting on the cover of the 2025 Chronicle, which will be published and released early next year.
