It was a privilege to welcome the 2022 Sir George Elliot Scholars to Government House Auckland this morning. Dame Cindy presented Husna Hazari, from Auckland Girls' Grammar School; Hezekiah Young, from Dilworth School; and Sophie Roberts, from Onehunga High School, with the prestigious scholarship that will go towards their university education. Each recipient has displayed academic excellence and great leadership potential – all while overcoming challenges in their lives. We wish them all the best for their university studies.
