Year 12 Camp

A big shoutout to Mackenzie, James and Logan (2023 graduates) for attending the Year 12 camp at Federation University to share their insights into how to cope with the upcoming year.

Mackenzie detailed how her initial ambition to become a nurse/paramedic changed to becoming a teacher. She is now studying a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education, minoring in Outdoor Education - right down her alley! She made the point of how important it was to look after yourself during the year, and to not put too much pressure on yourself.

James is also studying the same degree after deciding he wanted to pursue teaching. James' message was to manage your time. He commented that time management was something he wished he had done better - juggling SACs, sport and work requires great organisational commitment.

Logan was very proud of his achievement in gaining a place at Southern Cross University Hotel School in Melbourne, after studying a VCE Vocational Major pathway. Illness during Year 11 forced Logan down the VCE VM route, which resulted in a fortunate outcome. Studying a Bachelor of Business and working part-time in a top-class restaurant has seen him flourish. His main messages were that setbacks may happen, but don't let them deter you, and that it is OK to change direction. He also reiterated Mackenzie's message of not putting too much pressure on yourself - don't set the bar that high that reaching it is impossible, make realistic goals for yourself to progress along the way.

Thanks Mackenzie, James and Logan for giving up your time to reconnect with the College - it is much appreciated.
