After what was a very challenging year for all students, whether at school or at university, the Committee was most impressed with the dedication and positivity of the applicants for this year's scholarship.
Andrei was chosen from a very strong field of candidates.
He completed Year 12 at Lithgow High School in 2021 and was elected as one of the School Captains for 2020/2021 and prior to that, was involved in the school's Mediation Program and the Peer Support Program.
Andrei has had to deal with some very challenging family circumstances during his high school years. Despite this, he has had an excellent school attendance record and has achieved well academically while carrying out his responsibilities as School Captain and involving himself in many other aspects of school life.
He was a member of the school's boys' basketball team that came forth in the State in 2021. He has also played touch football and volleyball for the school. Andrei participated in the Western Region Dance Festival with a number of others from the school.
While involving himself in all these aspects of school life, Andrei has also worked part time for the last few years.
