Year 12 student Emma Bryan has received the Women Helping Others Upper Hutt Scholarship.

The Scholarship, worth $500, will be put to use to pay for equipment and clothing she needs for her Adventure course.

Emma's grandfather was also present when Emma was presented the scholarship.

Emma was nominated for the Scholarship due to her outstanding attitude to her studies and unfailing positivity.  She is a superb student who epitomises the school values.

One of the presenters of the award to Emma was Audrey Harper (2nd from right) who was the first Senior Mistress (Deputy Principal) at Upper Hutt College when it first opened in 1962. One of our Senior Prizegiving Cups is also named after Miss Harper.
