Community members are encouraged to nominate any high school student from a high school in the Hawkesbury area whom they feel could be awarded with the prestigious Natalie Burton Memorial Award and $200 prize money.
The award is intended for a recipient who has faced a challenging circumstance and, despite this adversity, has still succeeded through their personal application and determination. This could be a disability, illness or a serious accident, the loss of a family member or other situations that sometimes present in life.
The award is open to male or female students and is not restricted to academic achievement; it may take the form of community, sporting or general achievements and improvements.
Natalie Burton was a remarkable individual who died from cancer in March 2003 at the age of 32. Natalie was herself an exceptional student who accomplished a great deal during her life.
