A Wellington College old boy is settling into life in Sydney after receiving a scholarship that opens a pathway to international study and industry experience.
Ethan Mupariwa, who was in the Class of 2025, was last year’s recipient of the Wellington College Courtney O’Connor Scholarship at the International College of Management, Sydney.
The scholarship is provided each year by ICMS in the name of Darryl Courtney-O’Connor, the college’s founder and chairman, who is also a Wellington College old boy from the Class of 1967.
The scholarship gives Wellington College students the chance to gain an internationally recognised education while studying and living in Sydney.
Speaking at the April scholarship ceremony, Mupariwa said receiving the award had made a major difference.
“Receiving the scholarship was a real turning point in my life,” he said.
He said it had been “a significant decider” of his future, and acknowledged the support of his family in New Zealand and Zimbabwe.
Mupariwa has been settling into Sydney life and has continued his passion for rugby after joining the Manly Marlins Rugby Club.
Wellington College said it looked forward to hearing more from Mupariwa as he continues his studies and sporting journey in Australia.
