The annual ceremony celebrates students who have excelled in sport, arts and community engagement.
Dibb says she wasn’t expecting to win the award but is happy with the recognition of her national and international achievements.
The double-mini and trampoline athlete moved from gymnastics into trampolining at the age of nine and has competed at every Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships since 2015.
She won a silver medal at the World Open Trampoline Championships in Tokyo last year, becoming the first New Zealander in 21 years to claim a medal at the world champs. She finished fourth at the World Games in 2017 and won bronze at the World Cup in Russia in 2019 after winning the New Zealand nationals competition that year.
