A Logan Park High School pupil found her extra work creating fashion garments while studying for  NCEA had some real benefits.

Lorna Ryan (17) was last night awarded a scholarship to Otago Polytechnic for next year, a scholarship she said she definitely planned to take up.

Lorna (above) won the scholarship at the polytechnic’s School of Design Secondary Schools Awards Exhibition for year 12 and 13 pupils. Otago Polytechnic academic leader of fashion Dr Margo Barton said the design was "quirky, wearable and really out there at the same time".

Lorna said she was "surprised, and really, really happy".
