Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank turned to their Sarina State High School and CQUniversity scholarship winners to celebrate Youth Week. The recipients were asked what was their first job and what they have most been proud of this year.
Chelsea Trusz – 2022 Sarina State High School Scholarship recipient
“My first job was at IGA and I liked building connections with my co-workers and interacting with customers every day. I am most proud of my accomplishments academically and being able to receive this scholarship from Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank, because it has helped a lot this year.”
Brock Raward – 2021 Sarina State High School Scholarship recipient
“My first job was working for my neighbour, who owns the company - Hello Fern. She creates these wonderful wooden discs with laser-engraved designs for babies to celebrate their milestones. I loved working for Tahnee with her flexible hours which gave me time for my daily session of listening to music. So far, I’ve been most proud of receiving the position of school captain at Sarina State High School which has been a goal of mine I've been pursuing for many years.”
Zali Hooper – 2022 Sarina State High School Scholarship recipient
“My first and current job is as a cashier at the local IGA. I’ve been working there for about a year and a half now and enjoy it a lot. I like working with the people there and interacting with customers as well. Receiving the Community Bank Sarina State High School Scholarship has probably been my biggest achievement in the past year. I look forward to giving back to the community and making a positive impact.”
Logan Bryant – 2021 Sarina State High School Scholarship recipient
“My first job was at 13 years old, as a referee for Mackay Junior Rugby League. What I enjoyed most about being a referee was being able to make games fair and making sure there was always a good fair game of footy. This year, I’ve been most proud of my Sarina Crocs Rugby League team this season, who won their first game since 2021.”
Taya Murray – 2022 CQUniversity Higher Education Scholarship recipient
“My first job was at a café where it was always busy and never really any quiet periods. I loved constantly having something to do and my co-workers. I’ve had a few achievements in the past year, but the one I’m proudest of is a community achievement. I make ANZAC poppies every year for the Greenhill Dawn Service, and the money raised is donated to Legacy. This is my third year crocheting them and it’s something I really enjoy doing.”
