Success & Achievements Aiden Sutton (Year 11) Aiden represented Cornerstone at the VIVA All Schools Games on the weekend in the U18s boys high jump and won the event with a PB jump of 1.90m. Aiden has now qualified to represent Cornerstone and SA at the All Schools National Championships being held here in Adelaide in December. Congratulations on a fantastic achievement!

Brianna Lyons (Year 12) − UniSA Accelerate graduate Brianna is the first Cornerstone student to achieve success in this new initiative with UniSA. UniSA Accelerate gives Year 12 students the opportunity to start studying university courses and guarantees them a place into one of UniSA’s many business degrees. Brianna completed the Macroeconomics unit online during Semester 2 this year. We acknowledge her hard work, determination and commitment to completing this as part of her Year 12 studies.

Caitlin Neller (Year 10) The article above was featured in the paper on Sunday, 9 October.

Brianna is looking to continue study with UniSA in a Business degree with an international focus.

All of this has been a result of her Work Experience at JAM Racing at The Bend Motorsport Park earlier in Term 2… she is really going places!

Emily Willett (Year 10)

Macie Wheeler (Year 11)

Emily spent a lot of her recent school holidays participating in swimming training camps at the AIS and Gold Coast for talented athletes looking towards the Paris 2024 Para Olympics, and beyond!

Macie recently competed at the Australian Junior World Diving Championship Trials in Brisbane.

Emily also competed at the Australian Country Swimming Championships held in Darwin with the Onkaparinga Swimming Club. She competed in 10 heats and 10 finals over 4 days of racing and took home a gold medal in all events! Emily swam 9 personal bests and was able to meet a lot of other Para swimmers and was able to reconnect with some others who she hadn’t seen in a while. That is certainly holidays well spent!

She placed 1st in 3m Springboard and 2nd in the 1m Springboard event. From these results she has been selected to represent Australia at the 2022 FINA World Junior Diving Championships in Montreal Canada at the end of November. “I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and feel very proud and honoured to represent Australia on the world stage” − Macie

Congratulations Emily and we look forward to following along with your swimming journey. 18
