Sir Edmund Hillary
Scholarship Programme
Inspiring excellence, all-round development and leadership
Waikato siblings sing
their way to the US
University of Waikato music
students June and Jarvis Dams,
soprano and baritone, were selected
for this year's Astoria Music Festival
Vocal Apprenticeship Program
held in Astoria, Oregon.
Hillary scholar June and her brother
Jarvis, both postgraduate music students,
had to audition by singing and video
recording two contrasting arias which
they submitted online with a headshot, CV
and reference.
"It was [senior teaching fellow] Dame
Malvina Major who suggested we audition,"
says June. “It was an amazing experience.”
During their time on the program, June
and Jarvis took part in Italian language
classes, and went through movement
classes, stage training and acting.
They had individual lessons and coaching
rehearsals, and attended Master Classes
with performers such as Juliana Gondek
and Ruth Ann Swensen. Days ran from
9am to 10pm at night, but June says it felt
like a singing holiday for both of them.
“It was great having my brother with me.
Jarvis and I are so used to singing together
so it was good having someone there who
you already knew.”
June, the elder of the two, is in the final
year of her Doctor of Musical Arts. Jarvis, a
Hillary alumnus, graduated with a Masters
of Music last year and is now studying
towards a Postgraduate Diploma (Music)
in professional performance practice.

From the Vice-Chancellor
Through the years the Sir Edmund Hillary programme has
fostered leadership and excellence in each scholar – qualities
we admire at the University of Waikato.
This year has been an excellent year for our
scholars. Luke Coxhead, Natalie Good, Sharee
Hamilton and Steven Rae were recently named
the recipients of the Step Higher award where
they will travel to Khumbu Valley in Nepal
next year.
We look forward to hearing about their
experiences; it is great to see four passionate
scholars inspired by the work Sir Edmund Hillary
started in Nepal.
The Step Higher awards ceremony was also
special as it fell on the 60th anniversary of
Sir Edmund Hillary scaling Mt Everest. This
made the day particularly momentous for our
recipients, and we are grateful to Compass Group
for their support in establishing this award.
While those scholars are thinking about Nepal,
Chris Dunn, an alumnus of the University and
the Hillary programme, recently competed in the
highest race in the world – the Tenzing Hillary
Marathon. Starting at the Everest Base Camp,
Chris travelled 60km through the Himalayas
to Namche Bazaar which is an extraordinary
accomplishment for any individual.
Many of our Hillary scholars are acknowledged
for their achievements in various ways. The
Wallace Corporation University of Waikato Blues
Awards are one such platform that celebrates
student excellence in
sport, creative and
performing arts.
The Blues Awards
take place in October
every year and are
one of the University’s strongest traditions,
dating back to 1971, with the tradition of the
“cultural” blue joining the sporting blue in 1990.
Through the Hillary programme, students are able
to recognise their full potential, are given skills
that set them up for life, and become competent
leaders that inspire others. These talented young
individuals hold with them qualities that we see
in those who achieve great things, and we are
proud of them.
Professor Roy Crawford
Vice-Chancellor
Wallace Corporation
University of Waikato Blues
The Blues celebrate the commitment and
achievements of students and acknowledge
their contribution to the University of
Waikato. The Awards evening and dinner
will be held on Friday 4 October 2013 in
The Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts
from 6.30pm.

Sold on theatre – studying with a passion
A group of Theatre Studies Hillary scholars say support and mentoring is the aspect of their scholarship they appreciate most –
along with the chance to be part of a tight-knit group who love the theatre.
“We’re all sold on theatre, it’s our passion,” says Ngaia Mason, a fourth year
student doing a conjoint Bachelor of Primary Teaching and Bachelor of Arts
degree (majoring in Theatre Studies). “But the mentoring we get and the
opportunity to gain academic leadership skills are some of the best things
about being a Hillary scholar.”
Ngaia, along with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws third year student
Natalie Foster, Theatre Studies honours student Brendan Theodore and
Bachelor of Arts student Philip Garrity, are well into rehearsals for Carving
In Ice’s production of Alan Bennett’s play The History Boys.
The four are involved in both acting and production, with Philip playing
the role of Posner, Brendan producing, Ngaia as production assistant
and Natalie as wardrobe assistant. Carving In Ice artistic director and
University of Waikato Convenor of Theatre Studies, Gaye Poole, believes
the chance to learn every aspect of theatre is a major benefit of the
Theatre Studies programme.
“The range of skills these students learn will stand them in good stead
in any career,” she says. “Theatre Studies is not just about acting and
working with me on Carving In Ice productions. They might be an actor in
one production and a wardrobe assistant or a production assistant on the
next so they get a real grounding in all facets of the production process and
develop a consistent work ethic and a respect for performers, technicians
and production managers alike,” Gaye says.
All the extra-curricular activity on the Theatre Studies programme means
giving up weekends and evenings.
A PASSION FOR ACTING: From left, Natalie Foster, Brendan Theodore,
Ngaia Mason and Philip Garrity.
“You’re with these other people who have the same interest and passion that
you do,” says Natalie Foster.
Out of the four, Brendan is the one with his sights firmly set on a producer
role. He already has a taste of what it’s like to make sure everyone turns
up on time for rehearsal.
“But this is community theatre and everyone is a volunteer so it’s not hard
to motivate people,” he says.
Meanwhile, in his role as Posner, Philip is rehearsing hard to be ready for
opening night.
“It does have an effect on your social life,” Brendan says.
“I not only have to sing but to sing in French so as an untrained singer it’s
a challenge but it’s also a lot of fun.”
Their role as Hillary scholars and their love of theatre also means they have
formed a tight-knit, mutually-supportive group.
Alan Bennett's highly popular play The History Boys is on from 30 August to
7 September at the Playhouse, Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts.
Highest Marathon for Hillary scholar alumnus
A University of Waikato Hillary Scholar alumnus braved ice, snow and altitude as
he took on the highest race in the world – the Tenzing Hillary 60km Ultra Marathon
in May this year.
Qualified snowboard instructor, internationallevel wake-boarder, action sports fanatic, and
former Sir Edmund Hillary scholar Chris Dunn
was sponsored by the University of Waikato to
train for and compete in the Marathon.
The Tenzing Hillary Ultra Marathon runs through
the Everest Expedition Base Camp crisscrossing
the Sherpa village trails to Namche Bazaar
covering a distance of 60km – to celebrate the
60th year of Sir Edmund Hillary’s ascent of
Everest. Athletes had to battle snow, ice, altitude
and exposure to rough terrain as they descended
almost two vertical kilometres.
“Ever since I was a Hillary scholar I've had a
goal to visit Everest Base Camp,” says Chris, who
during the day is a graphic designer for Gold
Coast-based water sports company Jetpilot.
“I wanted to understand what Sir Ed endured
on his expedition to the summit.”
He says despite the fact the runners were
descending, the course had plenty of uphill
running, including the world’s highest and longest
uphill section covering 10km.
HIGHEST HEIGHTS: Chris Dunn training
for his toughest marathon – the Tenzing
Hillary Ultra Marathon.
“That was after 30km or four hours of running. That
next 10km took me over three hours,” says Chris.
“The course turned out to be roughly 66km instead
of 60km. The toughest part was when my GPS
watch ticked over 60km and I was nowhere near
the finish line, wondering if I was on the right track.
With only 18 participants in the Ultra Marathon
event, for almost the entire race I was alone.
AT THE FINISH LINE: Chris Dunn ran for over
12 hours and came eighth overall.
“It was a weird feeling running at the finish
line, after putting in so much effort for over
12 hours and having no one at the finish line to
congratulate you.
“It was the most epic experience – just
getting to the start line fit and healthy proved
difficult. I could never have done what I
did without the training support from the
University of Waikato and the Sir Edmund Hillary
Scholarship programme.”
Chris came eighth overall and was the third
foreigner in the Ultra Marathon race. Sam Gibb,
also a University alumnus, placed ninth.
The marathon was created to commemorate
the first successful ascent of Everest by Tenzing
Norgay and Sir Ed in May 1953.
Hillary scholars set
to travel to Nepal
Following the success of this year's trip, four more University
of Waikato Sir Edmund Hillary scholars have been given the
opportunity to travel to Khumbu Valley in Nepal next year to view
the work started by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Himalayan Trust.
Luke Coxhead, Natalie Good, Sharee Hamilton and Steven Rae are recipients
of the Step Higher Award and will spend three weeks in Nepal. As part of
the award, scholars must fundraise $1,000 each for the Himalayan Trust.
Luke Coxhead
Hockey player Luke is in his honours year of
a Bachelor of Management Studies and has a
graduate position lined up with Ernst & Young in
Auckland once he’s finished at Waikato University.
Being on the Hillary programme for the last four
years, Luke says the trip to Nepal will be the perfect
way to finish off his studies.
“Being able to walk in the footsteps of Sir Edmund
Hillary was the reason I applied for the award.
I hope to gain a lot from the experience and it’s
something I’ll never forget.”
HOCKEY PLAYER:
Luke Coxhead.
As a Junior Blackstick, Brooke has played tournaments in India and
Australia, and recently she travelled to Germany to play in the Junior
World Cup.
“Brooke is an excellent role model to have around. She gives a lot back
through the coaching of kids and is an excellent example of how, with
dedication and hard work, one can succeed academically as well as
at sport.”
Brooke had to play a number of national tournaments in the U16 and
U21 squads before being selected in the Junior Blacksticks and the
Blacksticks development squad.
SNOWBOARDER:
Natalie Good.
Sharee Hamilton
“I had to go through selection camps at the start of the year and from
there I was selected to be a part of the national Blacksticks. My two
biggest goals now are to win the Junior World Cup with my team and
play in the 2016 Olympic Games.”
Brooke has been playing hockey since she was four, and her family is
also dedicated to the sport.
Like Natalie, Sharee is studying a conjoint degree
in Management and Law and wants to get into a
graduate law position once she finishes university.
The basketball player had her eyes set on the Step
Higher Award since last year and says it’s a “once
in a lifetime opportunity”.
“My dad played representative hockey and my brother, Shay Neal,
plays in the Blacksticks men’s squad.”
Brooke is studying for a Bachelor of Communication Studies and so
is Kim Tanner another Hillary scholar who was recently named in the
women’s Junior Blacksticks.
BASKETBALLER:
Sharee Hamilton.
Stepping Higher
Steven Rae
The Step Higher Award, which is sponsored by Compass Group,
covers the scholars’ travel, accommodation and daily allowance
for up to three weeks. The Compass Group is the world’s leading
provider of contract food and supplies hospitality services on
campus, including halls of residence catering.
Steven, whose sport is cricket, is in the middle of his
Masters of Management Studies degree and one day
wants to work overseas. For Steven, applying for
the award was an opportunity he couldn’t miss.
“I applied for the Step Higher Award because it’s
just one of those opportunities where you have to
give it a go. It’s been a privilege and an honour to
be on the Hillary programme so far and this is a
chance to experience another part of the world and
get a feel for the culture.
Being named a Blackstick has been
HOCKEY PLAYER:
Brooke’s goal since she started playing
Brooke Neal.
New Zealand age group hockey with
the national Under 16s. She’s already a
Junior Blackstick, and being selected for the top national squad was
the icing on the cake.
Declan Wyndham-Smith, CEO of the Waikato Hockey Association,
which is a partner to the Hillary programme, says Brooke is an
inspiration to younger players.
Natalie is studying a conjoint degree combining a
Bachelor of Management Studies and a Bachelor
of Law. An avid snowboarder, Natalie is looking
forward to travelling to Nepal.
“It’s something that I always wanted to do and I
really aimed for the award this year. I’m excited
to go to Nepal and see what Sir Edmund Hillary
started in the community.”
For Brooke Neal, hockey is in
the blood. Coming from a family
that’s heavily involved in the
sport, it’s no surprise this Hillary
scholar was recently named in the
national Blacksticks squad.
“Last year I was selected into the Blacksticks development squad and
in March this year I got pushed up to the national squad.”
Natalie Good
“I applied for the award because it was such a
fantastic opportunity to go overseas and it’s not
something that I would pass up. I want to experience
what Sir Ed created in Nepal and see first-hand the
impact one person had on the community.”
Olympic Games in sight for
new Blackstick player
The Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship
CRICKETER:
Steven Rae.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the work Sir Edmund Hillary has done
and the influence he had on the people there. The whole experience will
be inspirational.”
