Cody Lincoln
What is your most memorable moment/event from your time at this school? My most memorable moment would be the first CyberTaipan in 2020 at the Smiths' house. We were all crowded around the table in a semi-illegal 'party' due to lockdown rules at the time preventing us from going to school, and we enjoyed some Smash Bros after the competition had concluded. It was a fantastic experience working together as a team, and we had a lot of fun along the way. What has been the best thing about being a student at CAGS and what will you miss about it most? The best thing about being a student at CAGS is the family-like community that surrounds it. Through extra-curricular activities and my passion for STEM, I've involved myself with several opportunities offered both in and outside of school, such as GROK, homework club, ICAS, OUCC, CyberTaipan, AMT, and the CAT. I highly recommend all students seek to expand their understanding and aptitudes through these offerings as they can transform your passion into a career. I will miss the routine and daily socialisation as I migrate to an independent lifestyle, and also the friends I have made throughout my years of schooling. While this the end of an era, it is the beginning of something new; endless possibilities to explore and enjoy. What are your plans once you finish school? After my last exam, I will try my best not to float away with all the weight off my shoulders. A couple months at least will be spent at parties, watching movies, playing games, and building hobbies - I deserve a break. Then I will seek work in the local community in either a computer repair or construction field, delaying my move to Melbourne as much as reasonably possible. While life may seem short, the Australian life expectancy of 83.2 years means it’s perfectly fine to take a gap year or two to figure out your career path. I've certainly lowered my stress leading up to exams by not having to think about looming course ATAR requirements, accommodation, and living life far from home. Once my 'holiday' is over, I plan to pursue a Bachelor of IT with a major in Cyber Security at Monash University. After that, who knows what treasures await me?

What are your plans once you finish school? Once school has finished, I plan on becoming a lifeguard. I have already got my certificate and am also looking into swim teaching as well.

The best thing about being a CAGS student is the opportunities that are given to us, especially with exams and the assistance provided to us to help us prepare in the best way possible.

Tianeka Van Den Berg
What is your most memorable moment/event from your time at this school? The best moment was when I started the craze in Year 5/6 where the canteen sold deep springs. I stuck a pin in the unopened bottle lid to make a small hole and it was like a squirt bottle. I still remember that; proudest moment. What has been the best thing about being a student at CAGS and what will you miss about it most? The best thing about being a student at CAGS is having supportive teachers who try and push you to the best of your ability. I think that is what I'll miss the most. What are your plans once you finish school? I am taking a gap year to work in hospitality and figure out some parts of life before university. I am still slightly unsure of a degree but that's just because I am indecisive.
