Recipients
In 2006, to celebrate our 60th anniversary, we have instituted
the INDER LYNCH ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS. For such an important
occasion we felt that a contribution back to our community
was the ideal approach.
Our Managing Partner, Paul Maskell, and one of our Consultants,
Kantilal Balu, developed the concept of an award to support
our young people and approached the Principals of the five
secondary schools in Papakura and Manurewa. With significant
input from those schools the format of these awards was further
enhanced.
Award Structure
It was agreed that Inder Lynch would contribute the sum of
$10,000 each year to be equally distributed between Papakura
High School, Rosehill College, The Manurewa High School,
James Cook High School and Alfriston College. The understanding
reached was that at each of those schools one male and
one female senior student each would receive an award of
$1000 to acknowledge their hard work and assist in their
future studies. Each recipient also receives an Inder Lynch
Achievement Award Certificate.

Award Criteria
Each Principal selects the successful candidates for their
particular school, based on criteria which includes performance
and participation at school, consideration of the student’s
family circumstances and a focus on assisting pupils who
may not receive any other award or scholarship.
Our Hope
Our awards will not solve the financial pressures for students
wishing to continue their studies but, hopefully, will
assist ten South Auckland students each year to continue
to excel. In this small way, we feel proud to be able to
assist our community.
