Congratulations to Isabella Baldwin on her selection for the Hyundai Pinnacle Programme.

We are delighted to share with our community that Isabella Baldwin has been selected for the Hyundai Pinnacle Programme. There were over 140 applications for this programme and just 12 students from around the country were selected and Isabella is one of them. 

Isabella shares her thoughts below on this exciting opportunity.

"I am a member of the MGC Rugby Team and have played for the last three years. But I also am passionate about leadership and helping others. For the last two years I have been a member of the Marlborough District Youth Council and I am keen to keep growing my leadership skills. This programme will really help and I am really excited about this opportunity."

What is the Pinnacle Programme?

The Pinnacle Programme was created by Hyundai New Zealand to identify young New Zealanders with potential, develop their skills and nurture them to be this country’s next generation of leaders. 

The programme supports rangatahi who are passionate about art, science, business, sport, music, film, performing arts, the environment or politics. It offers a mentoring experience which is uniquely adapted to participants, and is an amazing opportunity.

Students selected for this programme are matched with a alumni and mentors that can help them as they push forward with their goals, helping them to achieve and excel.

Isabella starts on the programme this month, and as part of her personal development she will complete a three week journey on the Spirit of Adventure. We look forward to hearing more about her journey over the rest of this year.  Congratulations Isabella - we're very proud of your selection for this programme.
