Reading buddies

When I was in year 12/13 I was selected to mentor a year 7 child in order to help improve their reading skills and aid them into becoming more confident when speaking aloud.

Police Cadets

I volunteered for 2 years to a police cadet program where I worked alongside policemen in order to help the local people at events or help other policemen in the station doing various tasks. I also worked with my fellow cadets on many of the tasks and this experience really allowed me to build my teamwork skills.
