NOTE FROM THE CHAIR
It’s been a busy first five months of 2021 as many of us have tried to resume our “normal” day-to-day lives and reconnect with our friends and family. As I write this, Melbourne has just gone into another lockdown for 7 days and it all feels like dejavu. I hope you are all keeping well and looking after your physical and mental health - we will get through this as we have many times before!
We have also been busy at the Foundation - since the start of the year we have granted our Academic Scholarship and 3 more COVID-19 bursaries.
We are delighted to announce Anika Bhandari in Year 10 as the recipient for the 2021 Academic Scholarship. Anika submitted an excellent application and intends to use her grant to take part in the Trinity College (The University of Melbourne) Young Leaders Program (STEM stream) providing her with the opportunity to live on campus and join STEM related lectures and workshops with like-minded young leaders. Congratulations Anika and we look forward to sharing some highlights from her experience later in the year…
