That the Parliament congratulates Zara Flett, from Kirkwall, on receiving a Winning Students 100 scholarship, which was awarded for her commitment to both netball and her degree studies at UHI Orkney; further congratulates her on receiving the UHI Sporting Blues Half Blue award, in recognition of her stellar performance in the university team; believes that this scholarship will allow Zara to travel more regularly to training and competitions with both the Strathclyde Sirens and Scotland "A" squad, whilst keeping up with her studies at home; recognises the hard work and tenacity that Zara has shown whilst performing at such a high level in the sport, alongside her commitment to obtaining a degree in business management; looks forward to seeing Zara continue to thrive in the netball world, and wishes her the best with her ongoing studies.
