Student wins scholarship

Student Jared Gear has received a trophy and scholarship from the Kip McGrath Education Centre, Umina Beach, at the end of last term.

The Woy Woy South Public School student received the award for showing improvement, progress and determination throughout the year.

The Kip McGrath Education Centre in Umina Beach presents a trophy and scholarship for a term each year for a Year 6 student who has excelled in their learning.

Jared was presented with the award a special presentation ceremony at the school late last year.

Franchise owners David and Sue Hosford said the centre was proud to be able to reward hardworking students for their learning efforts.

"We have been providing the Peninsula with our education services for more than four years now and have helped many children from Kindergarten to Year 12," Ms Hosford said.

"A free assessment at the centre will let parents know exactly where their child is in their education."
