A MESSAGE TO OUR SUPPORTERS
|
As we head towards the end of 2023, we would like to thank you for your generous support of the Foundation. This year we supported 602 scholars from Year 9 to Year 12 across every state and territory of Australia. This is our biggest group of students so far.
|
This year on the program, 39% of students are from non-English speaking backgrounds, 15% identify as First Nations Australians, 34% are from rural or regional Australia, 25% have experienced domestic violence, 9% are refugees and 6% have experienced out of home care.
|
We have received 643 eligible applications from 270 schools across Australia for 2024 scholarships. The last few weeks have involved checking eligibility, judging and moderation of these applications. We are proud to announce that we will be offering 206 scholarships in 2024. This is another record!
|
A big thank you to our 76 volunteer judges for their assistance in this process.

As part of our clubs program to give awards to graduating students of local schools who have been recommended for their community service, Halyna and David arranged 3 awards at Redlands. Below is a letter received by President James from one of the awardees:
|
|
|
|
Hi Mr Humphery, I'm Lachie. Today (5/12/23) you gave me the award for the certificate of appreciation at redlands this morning. It has been such a honour for all my hard work to be acknowledged. I have never considered my effort in any way to be anything but playing my part, instead one of the most highly looked upon charities has seen me as someone who is a (according to the award) 'inspiration and a role model'. This has absolutely made all of the hard work and effort feel just that bit more rewarding. This afternoon however I was doing some work and I get a call from a mate who is mates with one of the other reward recipients with great excitement and urgency, he harasses me over the phone to look at the unsuspecting envelope that was attached to the award. I search around and open the envelope with such surprise that the award wasn't the only prize that I had received... Mr Humphery, you and your clubs generosity is simply incredible. This years Christmas presents will be just that bit more exciting for the family! I have never considered that what I do for my community is something this praised upon, so again I thank you and your club once more time. Kind regards -Lachie (The one with 'high energy')
