Summary

I am a responsible pupil at Montrose Academy who works hard to do my best. I recognise that hard work is rewarded. I was selected twice to represent the school as part of the pupil focus group at a visit from His Majesty's Inspectorate. I am a leader of learning for my cohort. I am a very positive person and I like to share the many positive experiences I have at the Academy.

I have danced at the Gordon School of Dancing since the age of 2. I have learned so many transferable skills through doing this. I have a super memory, listen well, concentrate hard and follow instructions. I have been on trips to England and the Far East with the dance school. This is something that I really enjoy.

I enjoy the arts and crafts. From a young age I have experimented with play-doh, wool, felt and Posca pens. I really enjoy pottery painting with my friends and family and take a great pride in all that I make.

I am fit, active and very willing to learn.
