Kokoda Trek - Marsh/Tierney Scholarship 

The Marsh/Tierney Scholarship is an exciting opportunity for one lucky Year 11 student (residing in the Morwell electorate) to join a Kokoda trek with ‘Adventure Kokoda’ in the July school holidays (3-13 July). The Marsh/Tierney Scholarship, worth $6300, provides our younger generation with an insight into the Gippsland connection to the Kokoda Trail, and the sacrifices made by men from this area. The successful applicant will be assisted with training and chaperoned on the trek. In addition to the scholarship, there will be around a $600-800 commitment required from participants for items like hiking boots, some incidentals and medical expenses. Details of the trek and information on the application process can be found below, 

Applications must be received no later than Friday the 12th of April.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Ms. Nicole Taylor or Ms. Kerrie Logan.
