Before
Christ College Brecon Old Boy Hubert Jones, and his wife Florence
died they were determined that talented youngsters would have the
opportunity to benefit as Hubert Jones had from the school’s
education opportunities. They left a generous legacy to Christ
College which has been devoted primarily to Scholarships to assist
boys and girls wishing to study Medicine or Pharmacology to attend
the school. Most of these awards are available for entry to the
Sixth Form, but a small number are available to the younger age
groups.
The inaugural winner of the Hubert
and Florence May Jones Junior Award this year is Beatrix Parry.
Formerly a pupil at St Tygwydd’s School, Penlan Beatrix comes from
Boncath in Pembrokeshire and has been at Christ College for two
years. Bea came top of the applicants for the Scholarship
demonstrating the expertise across the Sciences that was needed.
Not only is Bea an accomplished Scholar, but she is also a keen
instrumentalist, a member of the school’s Chapel Choir and goalie
for her Hockey Team. Science obviously runs in the family as
Beatrix’s father is a Chemist, entirely appropriate as the original
benefactor, Hubert Jones was himself a Pharmacist.
