Stephen Bignell will be heading to Bond University in QLD next year to study Law / Commerce. Stephen was awarded the Vynka Hohnen Scholarship which is the top undergraduate scholarship at Bond Uni. This is the first time it has been awarded to a Hale student. Stephen had to submit his results from Year 10, 11 and 12 plus a personal essay of 200 words explaining why he would like to attend Bond University. He then had 2 interviews backed up with a reference from his Head of House Mr Ian Tredget.
All of Stephen's extra curricular activities were duly noted by the interview panel and his participation in debating, mock trials, Cygnet committee, the PWC Accounting Experience, tennis and the up coming Service Learning Sony Camp, stood him well.
After being a boarder for the past 5 years Stephen has chosen to go back to the family farm in Kojonup and help Dad with the harvesting before attending Bond University in their second Trimester.
