2/14 BATTALION ASSOCIATION INC.
2/14 Battalion Welfare Fund – Scholarship Programs
The 2/14 Battalion Association Welfare Fund continues to be committed to supporting scholarship programs for students at Kingsbury Primary School and Reservoir High. The Trustees are continuing to developing initiatives to more closely involve the students from both schools in the Associations various ceremonies and services held throughout the year.
The recipients of the Battalion’s Bruce Kingsbury Scholarship Awards receive funds that are paid to their respective schools which then draw on the proceeds as needed by the students to assist with their further studies. In addition to the funds, each Kingsbury scholar also receives a scholarship certificate and the Battalion’s colour patch badge.
2014 Bruce Kingsbury Scholar – Lucy Lu, Reservoir High
The presentation of the $1,000 Bruce Kingsbury scholarship for 2014 was made by Max Caldwell at the Reservoir High awards evening at the Agora Theatre at Latrobe University on December 10th. The selection of the winning student was based upon the submission of excellent research essays from six year 10 students.
Lucy Lu is the very worthy recipient of this year's Kingsbury scholarship. Lucy’s essay carefully considered the plight of John Metson and put a very real human face to one of Australia's true heroes. Lucy has undertaken some solid research, showing empathy towards her subject and both compassion and maturity in her approach
The Trustees would like to thank all the participating students for their efforts and have made special mention of Carla Gabriel and Krisya Azlan whose essays were also of a particularly high standard. Some of the students work will be published in the Comradeship newsletter over the year ahead. The Association was represented at the school’s awards evening by Max Caldwell, Vice President - David Webb, and Welfare Trustee - Michael Ralston.
