Study Grants awarded for 2014

I am absolutely delighted to announce the recipients of SLANZA’s Study Grants for 2014. Our warmest congratulations go out to these successful applicants:

• Catherine Buckley (Rangitoto College)
  
• Stephanie Ellis (Napier Boys High School)
  
• Sandi Faulconbridge (Taradale Primary School)
  
• Kathleen Van der Putten (Tokoroa Intermediate School)

We all understand that working and studying takes quite some commitment. So it is especially gratifying to know that many SLANZA members are continuing their learning in the field of Information and Library Studies. SLANZA is committed to helping make this undertaking easier where we can, as we believe that it will benefit not just our members as their library careers unfold, but that the students and staff in their schools will benefit too, from working alongside a librarian with a deep understanding of their field, and a personal commitment to life-long learning, continual improvement and innovation.

We are currently looking at ways SLANZA can help support our members who are studying, and we hope to have some new initiatives in place for the beginning of the 2014 year.

Best wishes once again to all our grant recipients!
