Zac Laird

I started Artigarvan Primary School during September 2013 where I went on and completed my 7 years with full attendance. I then moved onto secondary school at Strabane Academy where I once again completed my 6 years with Full Attendance which puts me at 14 years of full attendance so far. I done public speeches during assemblies and was in the student council at Strabane Academy. During my time at Strabane Academy I also played Rugby up to Medallion level where I was awarded back of the year whilst captaining the School football team. I am now doing my BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma with Integrated College Dungannon where I complete my A-levels and take part in school football training under LLS twice a week. During the first week of school I was awarded the role of a school prefect which means I am a role model within the school showing how positive my school work and my attitude is when it comes to leading the year and providing a good look on the School. Whilst playing football at a high level representing County Tyrone during the Super cup (Milk Cup) I played teams such as West Ham united who play in the premier league. This has given me the chance to gain a lot of valuable skills such as leadership and even dedication as I travel 4 hours up and down to my School at Dungannon. This is a prime example of my reliability when I have to put my mind to a task. I have took in charge of youth clubs when I was younger and have done over 150 hours of voluntary coaching in Dungannon including Sperrinview Special School.
