The latest Smith Family Learning for Life High-School Prizes

“I will greatly benefit from this prize money as it will allow me to purchase items to create an effective study space for my HSC. Additionally, it would enable me to purchase additional resources to close the gap between me and other students such as a laptop or membership to HSC study lab. The Katrina Dawson Foundation will help me to be a positive role model to my family, community, and school and give me consistent access to the things I need for learning and make me continue working hard towards achieving a good ATAR. I am grateful that this prize money can break down those financial barriers that can at times limit my access to extracurricular school activities.”
