Sir Edmund Hillary
Scholarship Programme
Inspiring excellence, all-round development and leadership
March 2010
Hillary Medals for outstanding achievers
A versatile dancer and a world champion life-saver are the latest recipients of
Waikato University Sir Edmund Hillary medals.
Claire Gray and Nikki Cox have been awarded the
honour because they’ve excelled academically
and in their chosen art or sport throughout their
university careers, and they have also shown
leadership potential.
Nikki Cox, Napier born and bred, completed her
Bachelor of Management Studies with honours
at the end of last year and has secured a job at
PricewaterhouseCoopers in Wellington. She won
her first international surf lifesaving title in 2006
and last year won a gold medal in the board race
at the World Games in Taiwan.
“People ask me why I came to Waikato University
where there’s no beach for training, but luckily
most of the university year is in the off season.
I can still swim, kayak and run, and Raglan isn’t far
away. I came to Waikato because I liked the look
of their BMS – the first year gives you a chance to
study a lot of different management disciplines.
Much to my surprise accounting came naturally
to me and I liked it.”
Twenty-five year old Cox is one of five children
who are all involved in the sport at various levels.
She sets herself goals and has religiously kept
notes of her training sessions since 2001. Her next
challenge is to make the New Zealand team for
the next world championships in Egypt.
As a Hillary Scholar and Prime Minister's Scholar,
Cox’s course fees were covered; she attended
leadership and personal development workshops,
had free gym membership, personal training for
the gym if needed and support from the high
performance student manager.
And she was able to continue competing at
national and international events. “I had to sit uni
exams in Australia on some occasions. Staff were
really good at making sure I could fit everything
in. Even though the University is a big place, it
didn’t feel that way. People knew me and I was
well looked after.”
Alongside her medal, which will be presented at
graduation, Nikki Cox receives $1500.
Hillary Scholar Claire Gray came to Waikato
University from Pukekohe intending to study
screen and media but four years later she’s leaving
with a Bachelor of Arts in theatre studies and
Māori and Graduate Diplomas in human resource
management and strategic management, and a
wealth of experience.
“I hadn’t been in Hamilton long when I went with
other members of my church to a soup kitchen.
It made me aware of real poverty and I decided
I couldn’t ignore it.” So alongside her dance and
study Claire and two other Waikato students
founded Streetworks an initiative that gets people
out into the community making themselves
useful. “We undertake two major events a year
– practical things like delivering firewood to
families or cooking loads of meals for community
centres to freeze.”
Gray says her management study has been
extremely useful for Streetworks. “Things I was
doing in class I could immediately apply to our
organisation. I discovered that management study
made my brain dance.”
But her passion has always been physical dance.
She came to Waikato strong in ballet and jazz but
once at university found contemporary dance
equally to her liking.
“I’m leaving the University with a broad set of
qualifications. All through my years at Waikato
I’ve been well supported, especially by my dance
tutor Karen Barbour. It’s a real honour to receive
the Hillary medal especially because I met Lady
Hillary. We just sat and chatted about what I’m
doing with Streetworks and what she’s doing
in Nepal. She was really down to earth and
encouraging. I was gutted I never got to meet
Sir Ed, but meeting his wife gave the Hillary
Scholarship more meaning and has made it even
more of an honour to get awarded the medal.”
All personal travel of University students and staff members, booked through
Orbit Calder and Lawson, will benefit the Sir Edmund Scholarship Programme.
Orbit Calder and Lawson are a key sponsor of this prestigious scholarship by
committing a minimum of $900,000 over five years.

University High Performance Student Manager,
Greg O’Carroll says Cox and Gray have been
outstanding students who’ve made a significant
contribution to the Hillary Programme. “Through
their attitude and their actions, it’s been a pleasure
to work with such committed and talented scholars.
The great thing is that I know both Claire and Nikki
will remain in touch with the Hillary Programme
and will have a role to play in the future of the
programme as Hillary alumni.”

From the
Vice-Chancellor
I’d like to welcome new Hillary Scholars in
2010 and welcome back those already on
the programme. To the returnees, I’d like to
acknowledge your work inside the University,
and congratulate you for your efforts on
fields, courts and water, on canvas, screen
and stage. To our new scholars I’d advise you
to work hard and grasp every opportunity
that comes your way. We’re proud to have
you at Waikato.
The Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship Programme
is now in its fifth year. With thanks to our
sponsors, Calder and Lawson’s Orbit Corporate
Travel, Waikato Times and the Gallagher Group,
it continues to grow and we continue to refine
it to ensure our students achieve in their
chosen fields. The scholarships are important
for the future of the University. They focus on
all-round excellence and scholarship, building
leadership and strengthen links between the
University, schools and business and the
general community throughout New Zealand.
The Hillary Scholarship
Programme wouldn’t
be able to function
without our partners.
There are too many to
list in this column, but
it’s encouraging to see
more
organisations
coming on board to
support
potential
champions and leaders. Recently we
established partnerships with the Bay of
Plenty Polytechnic, Bay of Plenty Netball,
Tauranga and Bay of Plenty Hockey.
Nationally, Swimming New Zealand,
Equestrian New Zealand have joined us,
and we’ve received endorsements from
Athletics New Zealand, Bike New Zealand
and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand.
We are keen to attract more sponsors
and partners in the arts. Waikato’s Music
Department is one of the strongest in the
country and our arts advisers with the Hillary
Programme have a wealth of experience. In
2009 our arts students appeared in an opera
composed by David Griffiths and directed by
John Davies from Theatre Studies, and others
appeared in the University production of Pride
and Prejudice, while Hillary Scholar dancers
and filmmakers created BEAT, a dance film
project filmed in a domestic setting.
I’m certain achievements in the arts and in
sports will continue this year, in the formal
University productions, in city music and
theatre events and on the national and
international sports stage.

Introducing 4 of our
new Hillary Scholars
Yotam Levy – Cello
Tyrone Te Ruruku – Rugby
Yotam is in his first year
of study for a Bachelor
of Music (performance).
He began playing the
cello at 8 in Israel, and
moved with his family
to New Zealand at
12, studying his music
with Martin Griffiths at
Hillcrest High School.
Tyrone is in his first year
of study for a Bachelor
of Science (Technology)
majoring in physics. He
is doing a specialisation
in Māori Tikanga while
also pursuing a career in
rugby. He comes from a
small school with a big
heart, Wesley College.
In 2007, Yotam was
section
leader
in
the APO
National
Symphony Orchestra and received the Hamilton
Civic Choir Associate Artist Award. In 2009, he
greatly enjoyed taking part in the University’s
Accelerando programme that resulted in the
formation of the trio, with Hilary Hayes and
Cherry Ngan, that won the National Finals of the
National Chamber Music Contest.
He was the Head Boy
and a school prefect
who through involving
himself in his schools Kapahaka group was
made Kaitataki Tane (male leader). His most
recent achievements would be making Counties
Manukau age group representative teams and the
Wesley College 1st XV. This year he has set goals
to make the Waikato under 18’s and the Northern
Region Māori team.
Yotam hopes to gain more experience, participate
in master classes and perform with others in
chamber groups, and as soloist, to eventually
become as accomplished and as active a musician
as possible.
Ngaia Copeland – Theatre
Ngaia Copeland hails
from the Northland
town of Whangarei.
From the age of
4, Ngaia has had
the opportunity to
experience
many
different areas of
the performing arts;
however it wasn’t until
Ngaia began at Kamo
High School that she
found her passion for
theatre studies.
Sarah McLaughlin – Football
Sarah McLaughlin is enrolled to study in the first
year of her Bachelor of Sport and Leisure Studies
Sarah’s most recent achievement in her football
career is helping the New Zealand under 20
women’s football team, the ‘Junior Football Ferns’,
to qualify for their World Cup in Germany, to be
held in July. Sarah is also a member of the New
Zealand Women’s Football team, the ‘Football Ferns’.
Her goal for this year is to make the Junior Football
Ferns World Cup team and help her country to the
highest placing of a New Zealand Football team
at a Football World Cup. Her future goals include
playing in a senior women’s World Cup and also
playing in the Olympic Games. Sarah attended

Scholarship Programme will create a foundation
that will allow her to pursue her passion for the
arts and continue to achieve academically.

The Big Walk
Cynthia McNabb (ex Tauranga Girls’ College) a Hillary Scholar
and a BTeaching/BSocial Sciences student, writes of her summer
experiences travelling the length of the North Island as part of
Jamie Fitzgerald’s ‘Big Walk’.
An opportunity arose in early September for Hillary Scholars to attend “The
Edge of Stretch”, a seminar run by adventurer, Jamie Fitzgerald. The seminar
about stepping outside your comfort zone had been widely promoted, the
content was hyped as the best we would get, and the man himself had an
impressive resume to go with it. With titles for winning the TransAtlantic
rowing race, and being the first man to walk unaided to the South Pole, my
curiosity was piqued enough for me to sign up for the morning workshop,
which promised to put a new spin on the traditional task of goal setting.
That one morning was worth it and the seminar gave me a nice head start
on my endeavours in 2010 but it was not the workshop itself that presented
me with the most opportunity, but the unrelated comment about Jamie’s
next adventure.
New Year brings
new degree to
Hillary Scholars
Waikato University will offer the new Bachelor of Media and Creative
Technologies (BMCT) degree this year; an exciting new pathway that will
nurture and enhance the creativity of Hillary Scholars.
The BMCT brings several disciplines together to explore the impact
of creative technologies in arts and media, while subjecting those
technologies and creative forms to critical inquiry. It provides an excellent
pathway for Hillary Scholars involved in dance, music, theatre, screen
and media, graphic design and Māori performing arts, as it recognises
that the barriers between these creative disciplines are becoming more
and more indistinct, and multidisciplinary skills are becoming the norm.
Professor Dan Fleming of the Department of Screen and Media Studies
has been activity involved in developing the BMCT programme and
believes it meets the needs of creative Hillary Scholars.
“Arts scholars, especially in areas of creative practice, often end up
realising their full potential in a field that’s different from the one they
started in. By making it easier for students to move about more flexibly
within the broadly defined field of music, media, performance, creative
technologies, design and arts practices, the BMCT keeps options open in
order to avoid boxing-in anybody’s talent prematurely,” he says.
‘Leg 10’ reaches the top of Tongariro. Cynthia McNabb is second on the left
at the back.
Following the completion of the morning, Jamie held up a brochure which was
promoting something called “The Big Walk”. This concept was Jamie’s latest
brainchild – young people walking the length of the country, learning a raft
of new skills from their learning experiences while out in the bush and then
converging on parliament, to promote youth development in New Zealand.
Now here was opportunity right in front of me. As the seminar wound up, I
walked up to Jamie, and simply asked to get involved. An action as simple as
putting my hand up and asking for opportunity, landed me my summer job as
one of two support drivers for the North Island section of the walk.
Nick, (the other support driver) and I were in charge of making day to day
things tick while Jamie and the students were on the trail. There were 15
places where we were based as we travelled down the island. It was up to
us to find places to stay, to feed everyone, and generally to take care of
anything anyone needed while they were with The Big Walk team. Dealing
with everything from the public to food allergies in any given day was a huge
undertaking for two nineteen year olds, but we worked through every issue
with only a few major dramas that we couldn’t solve ourselves.
Every day was an epic day. With so many of the students being well out of
their comfort zones we had our work cut out for us to make sure everyone
coped. The expression on struggling students’ faces when they came across a
view that took their breath away or they did something they never thought
they could, made it all worthwhile. Moments when the students’ eyes light up
bring home the message – youth matter and youth are worth investing in. No
one who met those students could begin to argue with that.
The opportunity for this experience came entirely unexpectedly. The leap
from a goal setting seminar in a lecture room to going bush all summer was
a huge one but one I am so grateful to have been able to make. It pushed me
right to “The Edge of Stretch” and I wouldn’t have missed a moment of it.
The BMCT has one Hillary Scholar enrolled for 2010, Jenna Walmsley,
who excels in voice and composition. She was looking for a qualification
where she could collaborate with other creative individuals, expand
her passion for singing, performing and recording music, and develop
technical skills for promoting herself.
“When I was looking at the BMCT I saw that it focuses on creative
practices, creative technologies, design media, Māori media
and communication as well as screen and media studies. All of these
areas interest me a great deal and I believe they would help to give
me the confidence needed to become a serious singer-songwriter,”
she says.
Like all creative and performing
arts scholars, Jenna will be
supported by an Arts Advisor who
will assist her in the development
of an annual plan with the
purpose of extending her beyond
standard academic study. Add to
that the new Mediarena facility
for advanced multidisciplinary
graduate and research work in
creative arts, and the performance
opportunities provided by the
WEL Academy of Performing Arts,
and the prospects of exploring
her creativity and developing
specialist skills are endless.
