Be Awarded, Be Connected – Student Prize Winners.

The student prizes are one of many ways we as a society try to bridge the inter-generational gap. And the older folks have a lot to share, believe me!

Perth Branch is supporting UWA students; Northern Branch is looking at ECU while Murdoch Branch is obviously looking for the best students around its own bush that is Murdoch University and TAFE Challenger.

Last two years Murdoch Branch had a great honour to award four outstanding people. Pawel – our (tall) president of the last two years (2015-2016) is very happy to hand over the awards to:

1.     Merryn – the best student in “Plant Diversity”  in 2015:

Congratulations to Thomas Windsor, 2016 winner of the Wildflower Society of Western Australia Student Prize, which is sponsored by the Perth Branch. Thomas is studying both botany and zoology at UWA and hoping to become a research scientist. Thomas received his prize from Perth Branch President Greg Keighery at an awards breakfast on May 3, and we hope to hear a short presentation from Thomas on his studies sometime in the coming year.
