A rewarding scholarship program delivered by Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank officially opened, August 1.
Community Bank Sarina now welcomes applications for the Sarina State High School Senior Schooling Scholarship Program for students entering Grade 11 in 2025. This is an incredible opportunity for students who want to thrive both academically and in their personal lives.
Brock Raward, a recipient of the high school scholarship in 2022 and 2023, completed school last year and is now pursuing an engineering degree at CQUniversity.
"The high school scholarship was a tremendous support, allowing me to focus on my senior studies and continue my community involvement," Brock said.
The Senior Schooling Scholarship provided financial support to cover the cost of essential expenses, including the Year 12 Resource Scheme, instrumental music fees, an English Drama play, and the Brisbane State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP).
"SHEP was an incredible experience that I could not have afforded without the scholarship," Brock said. "I was lucky to join the state’s best instrumental students for an intensive 4-day program, learning and performing multiple pieces."
"These activities have helped me grow as a person and leader," he said
Brock continues his involvement in various community activities including coaching tennis.
