Students win Outward Bound scholarships

Two Pa¯pa¯moa College students have won scholarships to Outward Bound.

The Acorn Foundation hosted the 2022 Outward Bound Scholarship celebration recently, with Aiswarya Bhandari and Tori Haggie among the students to receive the scholarships.

Scholarships go to Year 12 students from the Western Bay of Plenty’s secondary schools and Whakata¯ ne High School so they can attend the Tangaroa Watch programme at Anakiwa in the South Island.

At the event, Tori and Jai Crowe of Tauranga Boys’ College shared their experiences on behalf of the student cohort.

Students are nominated by their schools and selected by Outward Bound staff members based on their commitment to their school and the community, with demonstrated financial need and an opportunity to improve their self-confidence.

This is the sixth year that Acorn Foundation donors and other local supporters have provided these valuable scholarships.

The three-week programme uses outdoor adventures and physical activities to build resilience, perseverance and communication skills which deliver life-long benefits.
