Dogwood Scholarships
On Tuesday night, 11 of our students participated in the Dogwood District/Authority Award Adjudication evening held at SMUS in Victoria. The Ministry of Education sponsored scholarships recognize excellence in the Arts, Applied Skills, Leadership and Languages. A total of 100 students from the Vancouver Island Independent Schools represented themselves through displays, auditions and interviews. Shawnigan students were entered in the categories of classical music, photography, leadership, carpentry, athletics and visual arts. The results will be released in late May, when 35 of the students will receive $1000 scholarships, part of which is to be directed toward post secondary education.
