Special Awards Supplement: The District/Authority Scholarships

The District/Authority Scholarships are awarded by the Ministry of Education as part of the Provincial Scholarship Program. This scholarship provides an opportunity for students to be recognized for developing an area of interest to the level of excellence, both within school and the wider community. Concentrations include languages, athletics, visual arts, service, music, leadership, information technology, and more. We are pleased to announce that three recipients have been chosen from Meadowridge School this year.

This adjudication had not awarded this scholarship in time to be included in the convocation.

Ty Brar: Leadership

Ty has developed himself into an open-minded leader with a keen interest in improving the communities that he belongs to. Becoming a leader for Ty did not just happen overnight. Ty started with his involvement in North Forest restoration on campus, the FTC Robotics competition, and FLL Mentorship Program. Gaining experiences and confidence from these school-based activities inspired Ty to help the wider community. He and the group he led had a huge success by planning and carrying out a plant donation project with the Vancouver School Board. The project reached out to more than 150 teachers and raised awareness of food sustainability. Ty also interned with a construction company, where he learned first-hand about fast-faced decision-making as well as market segments in the real estate industry. This experience reinforced Ty’s career aspiration in real estate to help tackle the housing affordability issues in our area.

Kaylyn Bell: Community Service

Kaylyn started to volunteer for multiple organizations in Maple Ridge, at a young age. However, by Grade 9, Kaylyn realized that serving others is not just her family’s value but her personal one. Her longest involvement has been with The Christmas Haven. Helping over 200 people have a sense of community has been very meaningful for Kaylyn during each holiday season. As a Meadowridge Lifer, Kaylyn most values how she can help with her school community. Besides being a member of the Robotics Club’s fundraising team, the High School Advisory Committee, and the Graduation Committee, Kaylyn has also served on Student Council since Grade 5. As the co-leader of the Social Justice Committee for Council, she is most proud that she helped organize the Dumpling Festival in Grade 11 and raised money to counter anti-Asian hate due to the pandemic.

Sarayu Nambiar: Fine Art – Music Composition

While Sarayu has loved music and performed for people from a young age, it was the Grade 9 MYP Music class that helped her to discover song writing as her fondest creative outlet. She then transformed her school assignments into a dedicated hobby and used this newly acquired skill to explore the world. Meadowridge’s music classroom has been her music laboratory, where she applied her prior experience in vocal and instrumental music and created a collaborative album. She also won a Leadership Recognition in her Grade 10 Music class, and she chose to complete her Personal Project in both song writing and music production. After self-teaching more complex digital audio techniques, she collaborated with an external musician and published a song on Spotify, which received over 1,000 streams. Her music endeavours have not stopped even during the busy Grade 12 year, and she has more songs to release after her graduation.
