Scholarship win enables young environmentalist to further education goals

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A North Canterbury teenager will be able to further her dreams of tertiary education after being awarded one of three $18,000 scholarships.

Miriam Clark, from Hawarden, is now off to the University of Canterbury to study commerce, particularly business management, sustainability and entrepreneurship.

Clark was head girl of Hurunui College in 2017 and took a gap year this year, during which she represented Canterbury as one of 18 young leaders to join a Young Blake Expedition with the RNZ Navy and Sir Peter Blake Trust in the Kermadec Islands conducting climate and marine research.

Congratulations Miriam!

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
