Alex wins scholarship

Woy Woy Public School student Alex Simpson has been awarded the Gulawa Scholarship for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Alex was presented the award as a result of his "outstanding" Year 5 NAPLAN results.

The scholarship will be used to benefit Alex, his class and the school.

It runs for three years and allows high achieving Aboriginal students come together twice a year in Sydney to participate in enrichment activities.

Alex will receive a laptop and software which he can share with his classmates.

He will also have the opportunity to mentor younger Aboriginal students.

The scholarship is sponsored by the Department of Education and Communities in partnership with Xstrata Coal.

Applicants needed to apply to be successful and a panel chose the final recipients.
