However, there were still occasional performances at public gatherings, such as parties and meetings of the Labour party. It was at one such function that she met Norman Bushman who, with his passion for music, recognised her talent and encouraged her to pursue her musical career. As a first step, she began giving lessons and played a key role in nurturing many fine musicians. Sadly, she succumbed to cancer before she could fulfill all her dreams and the hopes of supporters like Mr Bushman. Out of a deep respect for her dedication and musicianship, Norman Bushman took on the support of her family and made a commitment to keeping her memory alive.

This is a practical scholarship best suited to students looking to gain work experience, professional development and new skills in the fields of science communication and project management. SMART will provide office space on the Callaghan campus for the scholar and excluding time spent delivering shows in schools, they will be expected to spend approximately 24 hours per week in the office. Office time will be spent developing new shows and workshops and performing research on successful science engagement particularly in low SES environments. It is our hope that this research may lead onto a research paper and/or Master project. The scholar will also be expected to help with general running of the project including making school bookings and preparing the show equipment. Shows are primarily held in schools around the footprint of the Uni (Central Coast to Upper Hunter) but we do occasionally do tours further afield and have a regular contract performing for schools in the Northern Territory. Scholars will be required to undertake at least one subject per semester but may be able to do more than this, particularly if the subjects are flexible/online. This scholarship is not suitable for students who wish to study full time in 2013 as a high level of commitment to the project is required.
