| Salem giving his speech. |
Great news, Salem won the Senior Creative Achievement and Innovation Award at the Pride Awards yesterday which were held at the Paramount Theatre yesterday in Wellington.
The Pride Awards recognise and celebrate the successes, achievements and contributions of young people in the Wellington region.

| Before the awards. |
Salem was absolutely thrilled especially as he wasn't expecting to win and to make it more special for him, his award was presented to him by Amanda Skoog who is the managing director of the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Salem made a great speech, he was very confident and looked great in a suit and tie.

| He really can't help himself :-) |
Salem received a trophy, a framed certificate and a travel voucher from The InterIslander, which is fantastic as Salem has never been down to the South Island yet, and a gift card from Westfield.
It was a great event, plenty of entertainment and food afterwards.
All the award winners truly deserved their awards, all very inspirational young people.

ReplyDeleteI have just finished watching your AttitudeLive documentary, as I'm learning about Asperger's and how to best cater to the diverse needs of children in my class.
I wish you all the very best for the future, and will not be surprised at all to see you as part of the RNZB in years to come.

Thank you Babette. I am glad you have watched my documentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
DeleteThank you for learning about dealing with aspergers children as my best, and favourite teachers when I was little, did a course to understand aspergers.
I am going to keep working hard to hopefully dance for the RNZB, or else you will see me in another company :-)
