DONALD WEATHERALL $ 5,000 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship
By challenging me , the teachers in my life guide me to try my hardest and inspire me to become the best I can .
I believe one of the fundamental aspects of education is to encourage the further pursuit of knowledge . Physics has given this to me more than any other subject . When you have the underlying theories of physics in mind , you are able to look at the world with a more detailed understanding .
CHANDELLE PARNELL $ 3,000 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship
I ’ ve always been lucky enough to have the most wonderful teachers . Many of my family members are also either retired or currently working in education , so I ’ ve grown up surrounded by fantastic teachers .
My favourite subject has always been English . I ’ ve always loved to read books about everything and anything , so I saw English as a way to get marked on doing something I love .
TIRA MILLS $ 3,000 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship
Teachers were instrumental in my personal and professional development . Many people in my life are “ givers ,” and many do not receive as much support as they give . I would love to work directly with those actively building a better community by making sure they receive the same care that they offer to others .
The next ten years will be pivotal in my career . My goal is to run a wellness centre in my community that combines all my previous skills and expertise .
IAN POLLOCK $ 2,000 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship
One of the largest impacts some of my teachers have had on my life has been encouraging me to stay politically aware .
My favourite class was social studies as I always enjoyed keeping up with politics and current events outside of school .
In ten years , I see myself working in the oil and gas industry as a Second Class Power Engineer .
KIRA HANSTEAD $ 2,000 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship
Teachers have shaped how I am today . They helped me to learn to love learning , love growing as a person , and love teaching others .
My favourite subject in school was English ; I loved reading , and I especially loved writing . Creating worlds and moments in time with a few words was something so beautiful and amazing . It was what I jokingly called “ real life magic .”
