The Malcolm Lampe Scholarship for boys

Malcolm Frederick Lampe

9 October 1946 - 24 June 2023

Malcolm left boarding school at sixteen years old to return to the family property, where he learned farming through hands-on experience. He went on to become a highly respected grazier and farmer, breeding high quality bloodlines of Angus cattle and Merino sheep which were his pride and joy, at his property ‘Nebea’ South in Coonamble, NSW.

A true Australian country gentleman, Malcolm loved the land and rural life. He was known for his humility, honesty, integrity, loyalty and strong work ethic, earning the respect and friendship of many throughout the agricultural industry and wider community. He believed in giving his best in everything he did, leading by example with determination, pride and quiet dignity.

Beyond farming, Malcolm was a talented craftsman with a passion for woodwork and handcrafted wrought iron furniture. He also enjoyed investing in the share market, and had lifelong interests in music, sport, good food and fine wine. Above all, he valued family, friendship and community.

The Malcolm Lampe Scholarship honours his enduring legacy of humility, perseverance, integrity and kindness. It recognises students who demonstrate these same qualities through hard work, resilience, personal excellence, community spirit and strength of character.

The Scholarship

The Malcolm Lampe Scholarship for Boys has been established to honour Malcolm’s legacy by providing a life-changing educational opportunity for a young man from Country New South Wales whose family would not otherwise be in a position to access a Kinross Wolaroi School education.

The scholarship will support a boarding student entering Year 9 and is intended to enable the recipient to participate fully in the academic, boarding and co-curricular life of the School.

‍

The Awardee

The successful student will demonstrate strong personal character and the values of resilience, integrity and commitment. He will show academic, co-curricular or other relevant schooling potential, and a willingness to engage fully in boarding and school life.

Scholarship Inclusions

The scholarship provides comprehensive support for Years 9 to 12, subject to satisfactory progress and engagement. Support may include:

•     Tuition fees

•     Boarding fees

•     Uniforms

•     Textbooks and learning resources

•     Laptop or device provision

•     Approved co-curricular participation costs.

Nomination and Selection

Scholarship candidates must be nominated by a referee, who may be a parent, principal, educator, community leader, coach or other person who knows the student and family.

Community nominations are encouraged so that deserving students who may not put themselves forward are identified and supported through the process.

Selection will include a review of nomination material and supporting documentation, followed by an interview with the student and parent or caregiver. Demonstrated financial need is the primary criterion. Other considerations include character, potential, engagement in school life and alignment with the values of Kinross Wolaroi School.
