2009 Sony Scholarship Winner

Congratulations to Sigourney Irvine on winning the 2009 Sony Foundation Australia Scholarship!

”Ever since my family began having home-stay students, more than 10 years ago, I have been fascinated by other cultures and so this is why I’d love to go on exchange. I am doing this because I want to make new friends whilst learning in depth about another culture and language. I am looking forward to the opportunities and challenges that await me.”
