Something funny that has happened to me was: When I was 5 years old, I had a wobbly tooth, and my dad had the brilliant idea of getting my pet chicken to perform dentistry on me. I sat on a high stool with a string tied to my wobbly tooth. The other end of the string was tied to the chicken’s leg. The chicken was tossed into the air, feathers flew all over the place and out came my tooth!

A teacher at SMC I admire is:  Mr De Silva
Why? His genuine passion for teaching, shown through engaging lessons, and his true care for his students, makes going to chemistry very enjoyable.

Something interesting about me no one knows? I love adventure activities and have been bungee jumping from a 50m platform in Queensland. I’d love to go sky diving one day, too.
