Bayfield High School maths teacher Sue Scott has won a $10,000 Woolf Fisher Fellowship. ''I saw it was from some trust and I thought, 'Oh crikey, someone else is after my money'.'' Fortunately, after taking her morning maths class, the Bayfield High School teacher in charge of junior mathematics took another look at the letter and found it was the Woolf Fisher Trust offering her a Woolf Fisher Fellowship. Ms Scott said the fellowship offered $10,000 for her and her partner to travel overseas to undertake research and professional development in the field of mathematics. The fellowship was awarded for her excellence in teaching mathematics in the classroom and the wider community.
