RROGA SCHOL ARSHIPS
The Gibson Webb Exhibitions
The Gibson Webb Exhibitions The Rangi Ruru Old Girls’ Association offers the Gibson Webb Exhibitions to direct descendants of Rangi Ruru Old Girls who are currently attending the school in Years 12 and 13. Nominations are made by staff during Term 1 and final selection is made for the awards by the Old Girls’ Committee. Three Exhibitions are made annually. The Exhibitions are awarded to those girls who demonstrate endeavour, good citizenship and make positive contributions to the school. At least one of the three awards will be made to a boarder.

How did you feel when you found out you’d been awarded a Gibson Webb? I felt super excited. I felt quite proud because my Grandma is part of the Rangi Ruru Old Girls’ Association. What are your plans for next year? Next year I plan to study at Lincoln University and do a Diploma in Agriculture. This involves study and a lot of practice farm work. I'm really looking forward to it. Even though I have grown up in town I have always wanted to be a farmer. What do you enjoy about your studies at Rangi? I’ve enjoyed support I've received from all the teachers. Sometimes I find learning difficult and the support that the teachers provide makes school and learning a lot easier. They really want us to do well so that we are prepared when we leave school. What will your lasting memories be about your years at Rangi? Memories that will last forever will be all the friends that I have made, and these friendships will last for years after we've left Rangi. I'll always be proud to be a 'Rangi Girl'. There have been fun times that we've been allowed to organise, run and enjoy. For example, Love Weeks, Sports Days and School Dances. These make the school days more enjoyable and gives all year groups the chance to get to know each other better outside of the classroom. Your favourite quote? "Success isn't about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in peoples’ lives." Michelle Obama
