Sir Edmund Hillary
Scholarship Programme
Inspiring excellence, all-round development and leadership
From the Vice-Chancellor
Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars featured prominently on national
and international stages and sports fields in 2010 and it has
been a thrill to witness their achievements as they strive for
success in their specialist areas. I look forward to seeing our
scholars reach new heights and have new successes in 2011.
It is a pleasure to welcome back returning scholars and to greet the 40 new
Hillary Scholars of whom some are coming to Waikato University for the
first time. I congratulate you on winning a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship
– I am sure you are aware that they are hotly contested. You will also be
very aware that success does not come easy, but with hard work to develop
natural talent we are confident that you will achieve great things.
In 2010 two Hillary Scholars, Edward King and Santiago Canon Valencia, were the only two cellists from
southern hemisphere music schools to be selected for a major cello competition in Beijing. I was fortunate
to be in Beijing at the awards ceremony when Santiago, a first-year student, was judged by a panel of
international experts to be equal top with a cellist from Russia. Eddy King has just finished his honours year
and has been awarded a scholarship from Universities New Zealand to continue his musical studies overseas.
Eddy is one of two Sir Edmund Hillary medallists for 2010. The other was cricket all-rounder Steven Rae
who completed a conjoint degree in management and science degree and is now working at a Hamilton
accounting firm. He captains the Bay of Plenty Development cricket team and is still on the Hillary
Programme as he’s decided to return to university part time to study for a Masters in Management Studies.
At the 2010 World Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro, we watched with pride as several Hillary
scholars, past and present, rowed in championship crews. We were delighted to see current management
student Graham Oberlin-Brown on the dais to collect silver in the lightweight pair.
Oliver Leydon-Davis represented New Zealand at badminton at the Commonwealth Games, and fourth
year accounting student Laura Langman continues to stand out as a Silver Fern, coming home from
New Delhi with a hard-won netball gold medal and looking towards the World Netball Championships
in July. Our theatre studies, music and computer graphic design students performed or worked behind
the scenes in a season of The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov, and this year, many are taking part in the
Hamilton Gardens Festival.
The Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarships are now in their sixth year and we continue to work with our partners
and sponsors to improve and refine what we offer our scholars. Our key sponsors are The Gallagher
Group, Calder and Lawson's Orbit Corporate Travel, Waikato Times and this year we welcome U Leisure as
a new sponsor. Our partners are many – too many to list here, but I would like to acknowledge Waikato
Hockey and Tauranga and BOP Hockey for encouraging their players to study and apply for scholarships
and for providing strong support for their players throughout their years of study. We have secured a new
partner in Touch NZ for 2011 and an endorsement from Volleyball New Zealand.
Hillary Scholarships focus on all-round excellence and building leadership. They help strengthen links
between the University, schools and business and the general community throughout New Zealand. You
should be very proud to have received one of these prestigious scholarships; I wish you well for 2011.
Professor Roy Crawford
Vice-Chancellor
Travel benefits for Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars
The University of Waikato and Orbit Calder and Lawson have made it easier for
Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars to travel. The University will provide free travel insurance

for travel. Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars should contact the High Performance Student
Manager, Greg O’Carroll, to access these benefits.
March 2011
Opening Bat
Cricketer Natalie Dodd had a rapid rise to the
top. At 14 she was selected for the provincial
Northern Spirit side and a year later she
was opening the batting for them. At 17 she
was opening for New Zealand. She has been
awarded a Prime Minister’s Scholarship and
a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship to study
a Bachelor of Teaching at Waikato.
“Things have happened pretty fast. When
I was first selected for Northern it was scary
because I was so young, but to find myself
opening the batting so soon was a big surprise.
I took the view I had nothing to lose and a
lot to learn. I had to back myself for what was
an exciting challenge.”
Natalie has now played five games for
New Zealand. “Since I started playing cricket,
playing for the White Ferns was my dream.
I didn’t think it would happen so soon, but
now it has, my goal is
to be selected for next
year’s Twenty20 World
Cup in Sri Lanka and
the One-Day World Cup
in India in 2013.”

Sir Edmund Hillary Medallists, Edward King and Steven Rae (batter).
Outstanding Scholars Win Hillary Medals
A cellist and a cricketer are the recipients of 2010 Sir Edmund Hillary medals awarded by the University of Waikato. Edward King
will graduate with a Bachelor of Music (Hons) in May and is embarking on overseas study to pursue his career as a solo cellist.
Cricket all-rounder Steven Rae will graduate with a Bachelor of Management Studies (Hons)/Bachelor of Science with majors
in Accounting and Statistics and his study isn’t finished yet either.
Sir Edmund Hillary medals are awarded annually
to Waikato University Hillary Scholars who have
excelled academically and in their chosen art
or sport throughout their university careers.
Manager was always on my case – in a good way
– constantly working with me to review my goals
encouraging me to work even harder. He held me
to account and that was a good motivator.”
For Edward King, the last year has provided
several opportunities to perform internationally
and given him a taste of what a solo career might
be like. He won first prize at the New Zealand
National Concerto Competition in Christchurch
and toured the UK as part of the Leonari Trio
after they won the Pettman/Royal Overseas
League International Scholarship. Then he and
fellow Waikato student Santiago Canon-Valencia
were the only Australasian-based cellists selected
to compete in the Beijing International Cello
Competition. “That was an amazing experience,
mixing with 40 other cellists from all over the
world and meeting the jury of 13 superstar players.”
He and Santiago were given master classes after
the competition with tutors from the Sydney
Conservatorium and the Paris Conservatoire.
Steven Rae became an expert in time management during his study years. He began his
university career as a 19 year old and the same
year captained the Northern Districts under 19s.
He is currently working for Hamilton accountancy
firm Vazey Child and playing his club cricket in
Te Puke where he has captained the top side and
also leads the Bay of Plenty Development team.
He’s decided to continue studying part-time.
Now King is considering where to study for his
masters degree. He has been awarded a Universities
New Zealand Patricia Pratt Scholarship which will
enable him to travel overseas. “I’ve been offered
a place at the Guildhall in London, but at the
moment Germany is looking more likely,” he says.
King was a Hillary Scholar for four years, taught
by James Tennant from the University’s Music
Department. “It’s been amazing, really. Without
having to pay fees, I’ve had so much more time to
focus purely on my music; often I’d be practising
four or more hours a day in addition to lectures
and rehearsals. The University’s High Performance

Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship Programme | March 2011
“I’m now part of the higher degree Hillary
programme and have decided to do my Master
of Management Studies looking at sustainability
reporting in mining companies. I had been thinking
about doing it for a while and it’s turned out to
be a topical and relevant subject.”
Rae says that the impact and benefits of being
a Hillary Scholar aren’t always easy to assess but
it’s so much more than having fees paid. “I think
the experiences and opportunities presented to
us – the different workshops we do, the visiting
speakers – open our eyes to what’s possible, test
us and give us a confidence to adapt in unfamiliar
environments. It’s helped me so much in my
development as a cricketer and captain.”
The University of Waikato’s High Performance
Manager Greg O’Carroll says King and Rae have
made significant contributions to the Hillary
programme during the last few years. “They have
been prepared to give back and take nothing for
granted. They’re shining examples of where hard
work and commitment can lead you. But they
haven’t stopped yet and we look forward to being
part of their continued progress.”
Steven Rae and Edward King will receive a Sir
Edmund Hillary medal and a $1,500 cash grant.

This year, providing she’s re-selected, Natalie
will have to juggle her university study around
a New Zealand tour to England and maybe
one to India. “One of the reasons that I came to
Waikato is because of the Hillary Scholarship.
We heard about it at school. I talked to
other cricketers who’d come here and they
encouraged me to apply. I know other students,
who’ve got huge sporting commitments as
well as a full study load get good support.”
Cricket Operations Manager for Northern
Districts and convenor of selectors for
the Knights, Pat Malcon says the sport is
benefitting from the University’s Sir Edmund
Hillary Programme. “Players are opting to
either stay in the region or are coming here
from outside because of what the programme
can offer. That helps our player pool, and the
students have access to our high performance
coaching staff.”
Another bonus for ND players is they get to
use the University’s new cricket nets. Bowlers
like them because they have a full-run up –
something they can’t get at the city’s Seddon
Park ground.
Laura on the Move
Silver Fern Laura Langman could coach organisational skills alongside netball. The international netballer who started playing
for her country when she was still at high school is now a key player in the mid-court more often than not directing play through the
centre third and into the circle. She also captains the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic in the ASB trans-Tasman competition.
During her netball career Laura has been a
Waikato University Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar
and come May she will graduate with a Bachelor
of Business Analysis (Finance) and be close
to completing a Graduate Diploma in Accounting.
“I guess right from the start I’ve wanted to
maintain a good balance in my life. Obviously
netball is a huge component, but I wanted to
add another string to my bow, so to speak.
Studying while playing netball has been a great
combination for me and I’m really pleased with
what I’ve achieved so far.”
As well as her playing kit, Laura’s lugged weighty
text books around the world, studying for tests
and exams while her team mates have been
shopping or doing touristy things. “Sometimes
I’ve been a bit of a Harry Hard-out, but I work on
the theory that you can never be too organised;
on and off court. Things always go more smoothly
if you’ve done the planning and sometimes
I’d be doing university assignments with deadlines
two months away, because I knew netball would
keep me busy in between.”
As a Prime Minister's Scholar and Hillary Scholar,
Laura has had her course fees and gym membership
paid, and as part of the Hillary programme has
attended as many as possible of the leadership
and personal development sessions offered by
the University’s High Performance Centre. “I’ve
gone through a pretty big learning curve over the
years I’ve been at Waikato. Sometimes I’ve only
been able to do a couple of papers a semester, but
I’ve learnt so much and a lot of it complements
my netball – having to think about things in new
or different ways and aspects of management,
like strategy and communication.”
Around the time of her final exams this year
there’s a netball test series against Australia,
so she’ll try to sit her exams either before the
netball tests or when she gets back.
She’s not sure what the future holds, but in July
she’ll have finished her university study and the
plan is to be on a plane bound for the World
Netball Championships in Singapore, where, if the
plan unravels as it should, New Zealand will be
in the final and winning it.
Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar, Laura Langman.
Trio in Away Play
Three Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars had major parts to play in the Hamilton Gardens Festival play Away. Kate Davison and
Brendan West were in the acting cast and Brendan Theodore was stage manager.
Away, by Australian playwright Michael Gow, is set in the late ‘60s and is
about three families on a summer holiday brought together by a storm
and forced to confront many and varied issues in their lives. Brendan
West played the character Rick who missed out on being called up for
National Service in Vietnam and then rather hastily married his childhood
sweetheart. “He’s on his honeymoon during the play when he realises he
doesn’t really know much about his new wife at all, how she thinks and her
view of the world,” says Brendan. “He develops a strong friendship with a
much older woman who his grieving the loss of her son in Vietnam.”
Brendan says while the play is quite straight forward compared to other
productions, the character he played had to deal with complex emotions
and that was the challenge for him. He is currently studying for his Masters
in Theatre Studies, bringing the short stories of HP Lovecraft (author of
weird fiction) to the stage, but his initial introduction to theatre was in
stage fight choreography following experience in Boxe Francaise. Now he
divides his time between acting, directing and studying.
Brendan Theodore is a new Hillary Scholar in 2011. He’s in his second year
at Waikato studying for a BA in Theatre Studies and Screen and Media.
“I’ve fallen into the stage and production management side of things and I
like being behind the scenes working out how everything comes together,”
he says. “Away had quite a big cast and included people from a range
of different age groups, so it gets to be quite a big ensemble to manage.
It was challenging working in the Camellia Garden, working out how to
make the best use of the space and all the exit and entry points.”
The play was directed by Waikato University senior lecturer in Theatre
Studies Gaye Poole. Her theatre company, Carving in Ice, gives Waikato
Theatre Studies students extra opportunities to gain experience on stage in
addition to the University-led productions staged each year.
Fourth year arts and education student Kate Davison played the part of
teenager Meg in the play – a change for her as she’s usually called upon to
play adult roles. “It was fun to play a character younger than me. Seeing
as I wasn’t around in the 1960s I read a lot of material from that time and
talked with older cast members to get a good feel for the era.”
She says performing outdoors meant the actors had to really work their
voices. “That was hard, but because it’s a summery play and so many of
the scenes in the play take place outside, it was nice to perform it in the
outdoor environment.”
