Sophie Preston

Kristin School
National Leader 2024-2025

Sophie is an enthusiastic and outgoing leader who has achieved some great outcomes through her dedication and creativity. She collaborated with Eva to create a comprehensive SADD guide for other SADD or NLP members, providing detailed instructions for running three main events and tips for engaging primary school students. The guide is designed to make planning activities simple and stress-free, with photos from DRIVE sessions and school murals included. Already, the guide has streamlined fundraising, mural projects, and DRIVE sessions at Sophie’s school, making it easier for students to get involved and take on leadership roles. Sophie hopes this resource will help SADD leaders across New Zealand confidently run regular activities and make a meaningful impact in their communities.
