Daryll QUIJAS Student Profile

Q. What does it mean to you to be in the role of College Captain in 2023?

To me, being the College Captain at St Mary’s College means that I must be a leader and a positive role model who represents all the College has to offer. This role to me is important, as my presence and interactions amongst other students and my peers can have a lasting impact, an impact that I would hope benefits the students and the image of the College.

Q. What are your goals for the rest of the year?

My goals for the end of the year include, winning the championships in all the remaining basketball tournaments, achieving good results in my subjects, getting accepted into the university I desire, as well as continuing to improve my skills with the guitar.

Q. What does 2024 look like for you?

In 2024 I will be a university student living in Brisbane. I will hopefully be attending classes for the Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Queensland.

Q. What piece of advice would you give to other St Mary’s College students?

A piece of advice I would give to other St Mary’s College students is to always be curious. “Curiosity is the engine of achievement” – Ken Robinson. Curiosity serves as the engine that will propel students to the pursuit knowledge, growth, and achievement. It is the starting point for progressive learning. I believe this advice will help students become more active learners.
