Dube Scholarship Winners 2020

The DUBE scholarship is the only scholarship or award presented by Jells Park PS. Its origins came from the Dube family that had two students go through the school – Shaan and Sidarth. The family was so happy and impressed with the educational and extra-curricular programs run by the school that they made a sizeable donation for a scholarship.

It was decided that the scholarship would be awarded to two students who staff best felt met the following conditions:

One boy and one girls from Level 5, going into Level 6,
Students who exemplified the school values of Respect, Excellence, Honesty and Resilience,
Students who tried their very best every day, no matter what the task or activity,
Students that were happy, courteous, friendly and engaging to peers and staff,
Students that became engaged and active in school events and programs,
Students that were respected by their peers,
Students that have shown all-round academic excellence (not necessarily superstars) but who work hard and achieve high standards,
Students that demonstrate great sportsmanship at all times,
Students that demonstrate excellent citizenship

The DUBE Scholarship is a $300 contribution towards school expenses in the following year.

The recipients of the scholarship for 2020 are Kevin B and Mia B. Congratulations to you both.
