You will have the opportunity to develop your leadership, public speaking and teamwork skills, while being a mentor to high school students.

This scholarship is available to commencing students with an ATAR of 85.00+ and current students with a minimum Weighted Average Mark of 65. As the Community Leaders Scholarship
