Scholarship win enables young environmentalist to further education goals
A North Canterbury teenager will be able to further her dreams of tertiary education after being awarded one of three $18,000 scholarships.
Miriam Clark, from Hawarden, is now off to the University of Canterbury to study commerce, particularly business management, sustainability and entrepreneurship.
Clark was head girl of Hurunui College in 2017 and took a gap year this year, during which she represented Canterbury as one of 18 young leaders to join a Young Blake Expedition with the RNZ Navy and Sir Peter Blake Trust in the Kermadec Islands conducting climate and marine research.
Congratulations Miriam!

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
