Since moving into the more senior part of high school, a lot has changed. I am a dedicated, organised, and hard-working member of the Cowan House Council, which I love. I have represented All Saints’ in swimming, tennis, French, and badminton over the past few years. I am also an active member of the service community, as I attend Cooking for the Homeless, I peer tutor, and I am currently working on an award that requires 36 hours of service, hard work, and adventure.
In Year 11, I have had some amazing opportunities. I was fortunate enough to work as a Peer Support Leader, and guide Year 8 students to learn the college values through fun and interactive games. I have also been volunteering as a girl guide Junior leader for 11 months, attending sessions every Thursday afternoon to work with girls aged 6-10, and help them earn badges. I have also received Year 11 awards in House, Drama, and Tennis. In September this year, I will be heading off to France as part of the French Exchange. This will teach me how to overcome challenges especially with communication.
In Year 10, I was a member of the school rowing team, which taught me how to work effectively in a team to achieve an outcome. I also earned a lead role in my musical theatre class year playing Isabela in Disney’s “Encanto” for Year 4-6 students. This taught me how to engage an audience, and how to use public speaking. I also earned Merit Certificates in Health and Science. In September last year, I headed up North to Exmouth on a girl guides trip for 5 days, where we carried everything and kayaked around the coast, and camped on beaches. This taught me how to lead a group, and how to tackle new experiences.
