Shoalhaven student Piper Clarke has been identified as ‘One to Watch’ as part of the NSW Women of the Year Awards 2026
Since the age of 7, Piper has committed herself to helping others, raising more than $15,000 for local and national charities.
Causes she has supported include Supported Accommodation and Homelessness Services Shoalhaven Illawarra’s winter appeal and Christmas toy drive, Sydney Children’s Hospital and The Smith Family’s education initiative.
While supporting the toy drive, Piper hand-picked presents for children in the local community, partnering with students from Shoalhaven River College to have them all hand wrapped.
Despite facing her own health challenges, Piper is determined to make a difference to those who may go without or face difficulties in life.
