Reminder - Harding Miller 2026 Scholarship Applications Open Until 1st September

Applications are now open for eligible young women currently in Year 8. The Harding Miller Education Foundation (HMEF) offers scholarships to students in Australian public high schools. Applicants must be in Year 8 in 2025 to apply.

The aim of the HMEF is to bridge the long-term societal gap of opportunity for girls within the public-school system for those who have high academic potential and are experiencing challenging socio-economic circumstances.

Each scholarship is valued at $20,000 over four years from years 9-12. Scholarship recipients will be provided with resources and support to not only finish high school, but to reach their academic potential and build direct pathways to tertiary education. The scholarships include computers, internet access, money for other equipment and access to tutoring and mentoring.

Students should see Ms Masters if they are interested in applying or need assistance writing a personal statement. For further information, application guidelines and to apply, please visit: https://www.hardingmillereducationfoundation.org.au/

Thank you to parents/caregivers for supporting students to attend the Tangalooma Camp in December. The next camp payment is $200 due by Friday 12th September.

Students may use their ‘stamp stash’ for a voucher towards camp payments. To do this they must email the stamp stash store (details posted outside Mr Nielsen’s office), or just pop in to see Mr Nielsen at his office in B block. One thousand points equals a $10 voucher.

There will be one final fundraising event for the camp – Billy G’s Cookie Dough – running from the beginning of Term 4. Further information coming soon.
