The scholarship is to cover educational expenses such as:

✅Uniforms and school shoes (including school sports clothing)

✅Stationery and general office items and equipment

✅Text books

✅Laptop or iPads or other similar devices

✅ Printers

✅Internet connection for study at home

✅School excursions and school camps

✅Representative sports carnivals

✅ Creative and performing arts-related expenses

✅Costs associated with work experience linked to VET subjects

✅Furniture for study

Public Education Foundation Connected Communities Scholarship recipients and their family members were invited to a morning tea at Kempsey High School's Red Onion Cafe on Thursday 23rd February at 11 am. The morning tea celebrated their successful achievement and discussed the distribution of the funds process.

A special mention needs to be given to the parents/carers of all the recipients for supporting them on this journey and to all the KHS Staff who gave a great deal of their time and effort in helping the students submit their scholarship applications.

We are incredibly proud of our scholarship recipients and hope that the funding can support them to achieve their learning, technology, sport, or creative and performing art goals. Our wonderful recipients are as follows: Ruby Hoskins-Gould, Shakaya Duncan, Emily Dark, Tanayah Vale, Ella Saul, Charlotte Brown, Brooklyn Atterton, Brojadda Lenton, Breeanna Horne, Kiara-Lee Stokes, Evan Orgill, Ellie Prior, and Carlin Dunbar-Rudd.
