AGRICULTURE SCHOLARSHIP


Rix Wihongi (Year 13) and Jimmy Croft (Year 13), both students in the full-time Agriculture Academy who participated in weekly VCs with Andrew Thompson from Telford Polytechnic have been accepted to attend the Certificate course at Telford in 2009, and better still, they have both received a scholarship worth $5000 to cover their fees. Rix and Jimmy have been e-students for two years now. Their achievements wouldn't have been realised without the support of their Agriculture tutor, Bill Dalton and eteacher Andrew Thompson. It was a very proud moment seeing these boys graduate from NC. Rix had just arrived back from a 10 day, fully paid trip to Italy as a Youth Advocate for indigineous people. A great young ambassador.
