What is your fondest memory of your time at PLC Sydney?
My fondest memory at PLC was the swimming carnival this year. Everybody participated in all the races we could and encouraged each other to do our best. The house spirit was ecstatic and we all came together as a year group.
What is the most valuable lesson you learned at PLC Sydney?
I have learned that if I push through difficulties with study, sport and friends that I can emerge with much more knowledge and understanding for what I worked hard for than I had before I confronted those hurdles.
How important was it for you to balance your academic focus with other activities?
I found that playing sport gave me time away from school and an opportunity to clear my head. It helped me to perform better in my studies. I also participated in Gold Duke of Edinburgh, I found that this gave me an opportunity to expand my friendships and also gave me a well rounded Year 12 experience.
