Snaring scholarship is music to Tenison Woods student’s ear

The District Council of Grant runs an annual scholarship program that provides $500 to a student from participating high schools in the district and the 2023 Tenison Woods College recipient has been announced. The grant is to fund the student’s ambitions to further their studies. The 2023 recipient of the District Council of Grant Scholarship at Tenison Woods College is Year 12 student Milla Rossouw.

In being considered for this award, students must demonstrate a range of criteria including the intention to complete SACE, demonstrated academic achievement and commitment, and a commitment to school activities.

Milla has demonstrated great resilience, drive and enthusiasm for her studies, despite a number of health challenges. She is heavily involved in the school music department, where she plays the tenor saxophone in three different bands, plus the jazz ensemble, which performs at the Generations in Jazz festival. She is band leader of the saxophone ensemble and regularly mentors younger musical students in the school’s showband. Milla (pictured above with Deputy Mayor Megan Dukalskis) has also been a volunteer for a number of school activities.
