Leighton Scholarship Winner

Congratulations to Scott Gatrell on winning the 2009 Leighton Holdings Scholarship!

”It is a once in a life time experience to be able to go to school in another country with a different language and culture to learn. I would hope to learn the language and culture of the country, meet interesting and extraordinary people, and to be able to come back a new person, with all the new knowledge and experience I have been able to gain.”

Scott Gatrell, Bellbowrie-QLD
