AEAWA SCHOLARSHIP FOR YEAR 11 and YEAR 12
At the Sunday Lunch in March 2013 and at the recent AGM in April 2013, the Management Committee
announced the introduction of an AEAWA Scholarship to be offered to all Year 10 students in 2013 of cur-
rent AEAWA members. Two scholarships each worth $700.00 will be offered and when awarded, these
two scholarships will be paid in two instalments of $350.00 each at the commencement of Year 11 and 12
respectively. AEAWA has secured two sponsors for these two scholarships for 2014 and 2015.
Details of these scholarships are as follows:-
Objective
The purpose of this scholarship is to reward students who have displayed a strong commitment to achieving
academic excellence and to encourage such students to excel in their studies to the best of their abilities in
Years 11 and 12. This is also a good way for AEAWA to provide a benefit to its current members and at
the same time, encourage new members by attracting families with children to join the association.
This scholarship has been instituted to commemorate the silver jubilee of AEAWA.
The scholarship will continue provided funding of the scholarship is available to AEAWA.
Criteria
To be considered for this scholarship, the student applicant must demonstrate:-
a high level of achievement across a number of learning areas in Years 9 and 10 including
English, Mathematics and either a Science or Humanities subject.
a balanced student life with participation in community services or sporting or, musical activities or any
other extra-curricular activity.
values which are or would be an asset to the wider community.
Do look out for information about applications for these scholarships in October 2013 .

LUNCH VOUCHERS
To serve the lunches faster, a lunch
voucher needs to be purchased –this is
how it works:
when you arrive you get a num-
bered ticket as usual
then you purchase a lunch voucher
at the entrance, currently $6 for a
main meal ($3 for over 80’s and
free for over 90’s)
if a side dish is available this may
also be purchased at the same time
when your number is called, please
present your numbered ticket to-
gether with the coloured voucher at
the kitchen to receive your meal.
(N.B: One ticket = one main meal + side
dish).
A gentle plea - please have the correct
amount handy to save us running
out of change.
In the unfortunate event that we run out of
all meals, we will refund your money.
(Cakes are sold after the lunch service
has finished)
