Accomplishments
- I completed a year in The Brilliant Club program during year 7, where we were challenged to try and complete university level essays and successfully graduated the program with improved skills in literacy and inference.
- I participated in the Envision program, where we had to organise and start up a project within school with help from mentors who advised us on finance and communication. We had to work to an end goal of presenting our ideas to many other schools and a board of judges. This helped me to develop more confidence and improved my teamwork and communication skills. In the end, my school won the competition, being awarded with the best project.
