At Springwood High School, we strive to be a school for all, making every effort to provide a first–class comprehensive education for all students, being proudly inclusive in our values and wide-ranging in our curriculum, programs and practices.
It is most exciting that two of our students, Jessica Johnson (Senior Year 1) and Ella Newton (Year 9), have been recognised at the 2018 Public Education Foundation Awards, winning prestigious scholarships that will assist them through to the completion of the HSC and then on to their desired post-school pathways.
These scholarships can help to make dreams come true. To have won them is a fitting tribute to the girls for their commitment and resilience, to those closest to them for the loving care they provide, and to the school staff, particularly Ms Jan Mason, for the unwavering support directed to the girls' learning and wellbeing.
Jess won the GO Foundation Scholarship. Founded by Adam Goodes and Michael O'Loughlin, the GO Foundation works to empower Indigenous Australian youth to change their own lives, and to support them in doing so on their journey from school to employment.
Ella won the Harding Miller Education Foundation Scholarship. Founded on the passionate belief that the education and success of girls will lead to a more prosperous and responsible society, this scholarship supports and enables girls to achieve their full educational potential.
Congratulations to both girls and their families.
