Earlier this year, the College announced an application process for the inaugural Stella Berry Scholarship – an opportunity sponsored by the Shenton P&C for a student to receive a fully funded cultural immersion to stay with a family in France, set up to honour the memory of Year 11 student, Stella Berry.

We are delighted to announce Beth Vere as the recipient of this scholarship. Beth, a Year 11 student, hopes this wonderful opportunity will help her grow as a person and leave her with experiences she can share with peers. “I would like to converse more naturally in French and understand the language more quickly, and I expect the total immersion this program offers will enable me to do this. I also hope to gain an appreciation of French culture through exposure to French customs, music, architecture and literature, and the experience of living as part of a French family.”

Beth will venture overseas at the end of Term 4 and the summer break. We look forward to hearing of her adventures when she returns.
