The Old Boys\u2019 Union Scholarship is awarded by the Old Boys\u2019 Union to a boy (or boys) completing their final year at School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scholarship is provided to the successful recipient\/s after they leave Shore to provide financial support in the pursuit of an activity (or activities) that seek to serve the wider community. Shore has always sought to \u2018Build Good Men\u2019. One of the characteristics of good men is that they seek to serve others, including family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and wider society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of providing the financial support is so that the Old Boy can pursue some form of service activity that they might not normally have the resources to pursue. The scholarship seeks to acknowledge both a boy\u2019s appreciation of the School\u2019s aims and his desire to put into practice, in a unique way, what he has learned. The value of the scholarship is a minimum of $3,000. It may be utilised over a three-year period up to 31 December of the third year following the final year of School. The Scholarship is announced in the final week of Term 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of service-related activities might include volunteering for a charity, serving with Indigenous communities, participating in an Aid programme, assisting rural communities in times of need, volunteering with the SES, volunteering with a local community group, or volunteer coaching at a local club or sporting club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If interested in applying, we ask applicants to give a brief explanation in writing, answering the following three questions in no more than a one A4 page in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send to: Ms Maria Black (Alumni Community Manager)&nbsp;<strong>by 5:00pm on Sunday 1 September<\/strong>.<br>E:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:mblack@shore.nsw.edu.au\">mblack@shore.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What have you learnt in your years at Shore about being \u2018A Good Man?\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indicate the nature of Service activities\u2019 that you have already been involved in both in the School and the wider community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What would be the nature of the \u2018Service\u2019 activity that you would like to undertake on leaving School?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Old Boys\u2019 Union Scholarship is awarded by the Old Boys\u2019 Union to a boy (or boys) completing their final year at School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[22],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-21074","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/21074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21074"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=21074"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=21074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
