My name is Lachlan Pearce and I’m currently fifteen, I go All Saints College which is located in Perth. I’m in year 10 and I have many interest such as basketball, football: I play football for the Palmyra Demons and I have been playing there ever since I was six. I have also started to go to the gym as I need to get bigger for footy season if I want a chance to make a good team. Most of my interests are sport related if you couldn’t guess. Most of my skills are physical attributes, such as my speed, jumping ability, and stamina. All these skills help to increase my sporting ability.
My values are respect, empathy and resilience. I chose these values as they are what I use in everyday life and most they are important to me. I believe that we should respect everyone as we don’t know what they are going through and if everyone respected each other the world would be a better place, this also relates with empathy. I use resilience in everyday life as I don’t like to give up.
My favourite subject that I’m studying right now is most likely Spec PE, I enjoy this as I have a good group of friends in this class with me and we get to play lots of sport and we go to the gym regularly during class. I don’t know what I’m going to be studying next year, I will either do ATAR or TAFE. If I chose to do TAFE I will study to be a electrician as some of my family members are electricians up North. I would also like to get my coaching certificate to open new Job opportunities for me in the future.
My school recently held a futures day to give us students ideas on what subjects and pathways we should choose for year 11 and 12. The school invited old saint students to this futures day to give us ideas as they all have been doing alright after schooling. A week later I had to choose my ATARs, I was very surprised by the ATAR I chose as I didn’t think I was going to be doing ATAR at the start of the year. The ATAR I chose are: maths apps, English, physical education studies, economics, accounting & finances, and I also chose outdoor education but this isn’t an ATAR.
