AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TE ĀTIAWA UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Local Marine Science opportunity for Te Ātiawa students from 7 -16 November 2018

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TE ĀTIAWA UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS – PLEASE RESPOND SOON!

Local Marine Science opportunity for Te Ātiawa students from 7 to 16 November 2018

(Led by Professor Conrad Pilditch of the School of Science, University of Waikato)

Marlborough Sounds’ research

Conrad (Professor Pilditch) has research plans that will provide for several (2-3) young Maori students to be ‘out in the field with us’ to share in data collection (Nov 7-16). Ideally, these young people would be students (university/high school) with an interest in the marine environment and wanting long term to be future environmental leaders. We would hope (especially if their time was being paid for - see below*) that these students would prepare a short report on their experiences and being willing to share it with their iwi. If there was interest, we could look into developing more science involvement through participating in longer-term research programs.

After discussing how flexible these arrangements might be, Conrad has said:  “For the time we are here, we would be very flexible with any interested Te Ātiawa students, e.g., the full duration (as above), a day, a half-day, or some hours of involvement can be accommodated.”

(*There is a fund available to facilitate iwi participation in research, so, if there was interest, we could fill in a short application for money to cover the costs of engagement/participation activities.)

Marlborough Lines Tertiary Scholarship for Maori

Please find attached information and an application form for the 2018 Tertiary Scholarship for Maori.

We would appreciate your assistance in circulating the attached information and application form to suitable people who may be interested in applying for this Scholarship.

Please note that Scholarship applications are restricted to those who reside within the catchment of Marlborough Lines (i.e. the Marlborough region westwards to D’Urville Island, north to the Marlborough Sounds and south to Waipapa Bay).

In previous years we have received applications from those living outside of the Marlborough area, and regrettably
have had to advise those people they are not eligible for the Scholarship.

The closing date for applications is Friday, 23 November 2018.

Application forms are also available from our offices at Alfred Street, or by phoning
577 7007, or emailing info@linesmarl.co.nz.

Should you require additional information please do not hesitate to phone me on 579 3849.

Yours sincerely
Anna Reed
