Scholarships awarded Council to care for
TWO SELWYN woman were
among 27 people awarded with
a Freemasons scholarship at
Parliament last week.
Prebbleton’s Kim Doncaster
was granted $6000 and Lincoln’s
Melissa Derby, $10,000.
Mrs Doncaster is studying
towards a Master of Science at
Canterbury University, specialising
in child and family psychology.
Her Masters thesis is named
The implications of contact for
children in care with their birth
families.
Mrs Doncaster said the scholarship
came as a total surprise
and last week’s presentation was
“really cool.”
After graduating, Mrs Doncaster
hopes to work with mothers
and children suffering with depression
and anxiety, attachment
issues, addiction and trauma.
Miss Derby is studying towards
her Doctor of Philosophy
at Canterbury University.
Her thesis, Restoring Māori
literacy narratives to create
contemporary stories of success,
explores the unique experiences
of emerging bilingual Māori
children and the contextual factors
that support their bilingual
literacy development.
Miss Derby says she was
both surprised and humbled to

receive the scholarship.
She hopes to research and
teach in the broad area of indigenous
self-determination, with
a particular focus on education,
ethnic studies and human rights.
For 40 years Freemasons from
throughout New Zealand have
awarded almost $5.2 million in
scholarships to 1162 of the country’s
university students.
To be eligible for the
scholarship, students must
be completing a degree, be
achieving consistent A- or
higher grades and show
commitment to voluntary and
community service.
football trophies
SELWYN UNITED Football
Club has loaned its trophies to
the Selwyn District Council.
It was the joint winner of the
sports club of the year award at
the Canterbury Sports Awards in
March.
But with no current clubrooms
to house the awards, the club
thought it would offer them to
the council so they could put the
trophies on display.
Club president Darren Sudlow
presented the trophies to Selwyn
Mayor Sam Broughton last week.
“We are proud of getting
them,” Mr Sudlow said.
“We are also grateful to the
council as our facilities at Foster
Park are second to none, and the
possible/probable sport complex
will only further enhance that.”
Selwyn United shared the gong
with Old Boys Collegians Cricket
Club.
The club formed in 2013, an
amalgamation of smaller clubs in
the district, and currently boasts
1200 members.
“That is large in Canterbury
club aspect but we’re only going
to grow [with the district].
“Our club is built on the
goodwill and commitment of
many volunteers without whom

we would not function. These
people make sports clubs in this
country, often with little thanks
for what they do.
“It is nice that in this case,
that work has not gone unrecognised.”
To showcase their efforts,
Mr Sudlow asked if the council
would display the trophy, and
the councillors accepted the offer
and congratulated the club for its
achievement.
