Humans of Carey: Angus Hendry

Year 12 student

Hi, I’m Angus, but most people call me Gus. Being in my final year at Carey, I’ve being reflecting on the last 15 amazing years with this school. From ELC to Year 12, I’ve enjoyed participating in 78 House sporting events and I have played in approximately 120 APS summer and winter sporting games.

From my first class at Carey to my last, I’ve always walked in confidently knowing that my teachers constantly have my best intentions at heart and are willing to do anything to help me achieve my goals at the highest level.

After I finish this year, I am hoping to undertake a course involving architecture. From a young age, I’ve always loved drawing and trying to push my creativity to new heights. I have found that architecture drives me to create new and innovative designs, and hopefully one day I will be able to fulfil this dream of seeing my designs in the real world.

Outside my life at Carey I love to play sport. I grew up around hockey, with my brother, Max, a keen player. I have closely followed in his footsteps and have now been playing for 16 years with many more to follow.

I am the youngest in my family of six: there’s my mum and my dad, and I have one brother and two sisters. All of my siblings also went through Carey, as did my dad and his sister. Dad graduated from Carey in 1983 after 10 years at the School, and my aunt came to Carey for Year 11 and 12 just after the School went co-ed – so, I’m the last of a big Carey family!

Although 15 years may seem like a long time, I assure you it certainly hasn’t felt like it! The friends I have made at Carey will be lifelong. I cannot believe that this is my last year of school but, whilst that chapter is closing, I am sure that the memories and friendships I have made will help me to begin the next phase of ‘life after Carey’!
