I am very proud to accept College Awards in House, Drama, and Music this year. These are areas of passion for me, and I have been very committed in all my years at All Saints’ College.

House

For Cowan House, I have contributed to the best of my ability in a variety of sports, cultural, and leadership activities. I participate to the best of my ability in sports carnivals such as Athletics, Cross-Country, and Swimming, as well as the Inter-House sports competitions. For my efforts, I have been awarded for

• Most Valuable Player in 7/8 Girls Touch in Semester 2, 2019
• Year 7/8 Girls Touch Rugby Coach’s Award in Semester 2, 2020

• Most Valuable Player in 9/10 Mixed Capture the Flag in Term 4, 2021

I have also represented Cowan House in cultural events such as Inter-House debating in 2020 and 2021. I was also a debate coach for younger years in 2022, where I shared my skills to make a positive difference. I have participated in the House Choir since 2020 and last year I stepped up to sing the harmony. I also really enjoy Inter-House spelling and quizzes, and have participated every year since 2020. Not only this, I also encourage my peers in Cowan House to get involved and make connections to make the College a better place.

In Cowan House, I have been known to step up and fill in any empty places in Sports Carnivals. I am very passionate about positively contributing to the House, and I’m proud to accept this award.

Music

I have also been very enthusiastic about music at All Saints’ College, even since I started in the Junior School in 2017. I have been involved in a variety of groups such as:

• Year 7 ‘The Minor Details’ choir, 2019
• College Choir, 2020 to present
• Senior Girls Choir, 2022
• Celtic Band, 2019-2021
• Concert Band, 2019
• Senior Wind Ensemble, 2020 to present
• Flute Ensemble, 2022 to present
• Solo performances throughout

I have also been awarded the Southwell Music Grant in the years 2022 and 2023, for my dedication to music.

Music has always been enjoyable for me because it allows me to be creative and express my emotions. Whether that is joyous or sadness, I have a great time performing and developing my skills. I have made many friends from music at All Saints’ College and left another positive influence.

Drama

Lastly, I am proud to accept a Drama Award for participating in Drama for many years throughout my time at All Saints’ College. I have been involved in

• Chaos, 2020
• Drama Hub, 2020
• 40 Years Later, 2021
• 9/10 Drama Specialist, 2022
• The Addam’s Family Musical Production: ancestor (ensemble) and Venus Flytrap, 2023

Over the years I have been very committed to drama and especially for The Addam’s Family Musical Production, I committed 94 hours. I had to reorganize my schedule to fit in rehearsals, which was a challenge, but rewarding.
