Congratulations to Ella Newton (Yr 9) and Jessica Johnson (Yr 12) who have been recognised for their exemplary efforts at the Public Education Foundation Awards evening.
Ella was awarded the Harding Miller Scholarship, a significant and sought after award which will support her to complete her schooling and move into her desired post-school directions in further study and work. The Harding Miller Foundation is dedicated to assisting young women to fulfill their potential, as this strengthens our communities and the nation.
Jessica was awarded the GO Foundation scholarship, which will support her aspiration to compelete her HSC and go on to study social work at university, enabling her to work in support of Aboriginal people and communities. Founded by Adam Goodes and Michael O'Loughlin, this prestigius award is driven by the need to 'close the gap' for Aboriginal people in education and employment. It is a fitting recognition of Jessica's pride in her Aboriginal identity and culture.
