"To engage, connect and provide relevant support to our alumnae and students, to foster a lasting and meaningful relationship with the Lauriston community for life." In June 2021 the Old Lauristonians’ Association proudly launched a new Fellowship program to celebrate and support the professional development of past Lauriston students. The Fellowship provides a $5,000 contribution to support an Old Lauristonian so that she can undertake professional development, research, or further study in her chosen field, or enable her to deliver a unique project. Applications for the 2021 OLA Fellowship closed on 31st August, with the successful candidate advised on 30th September 2021. The OLA received a number of applications and were delighted to short-list applications from 3 candidates: Sophie Tissot (2006), Krisha Changrani (2014) and Kathryn Elliott (1990). All three applicants are outstanding examples to the current student body and Old Lauristonians across the world, of what can be achieved through hard work, determination, perseverance, a strong sense of community spirit and connection. A selection panel, consisting of members of the OLA Committee and a representative from the School Executive, reviewed all applications in line with Fellowship selection criteria and then interviewed selected candidates before unanimously awarding the inaugural OLA Fellowship to Dr Sophie Tissot (2006).
