Lachlan Marchant Mawson House Prefect Churchie provided me with the opportunity to discover what I loved and excelled at and gave me all the tools to chase these passions. I met the demands of balancing co-curricular and service activities with academic work by being proactive in my time management and building a consistent study schedule around my activities.

Caleb Min Grenfell House At Churchie, I was inspired to reach outside my comfort zone as well as push myself to my academic limits. A large factor was the vast plethora of opportunities offered to me through rich co-curricular and academic programmes. Do not be afraid to make new ventures into unknown territory and find your niche in the school community, because it makes the whole journey that much more enjoyable. My advice for Year 12 students is to keep on top of learned content so you can identify weaknesses (and strengths) well in advance of exams and allocate study time accordingly to be as efficient as possible with your time.
