Lasalle House Captain
As a leader I would describe myself as: kindhearted, being there for people, putting smiles on others, supporting and encouraging.
The things that I do that I am the proudest of are: my sports because I started playing basketball and netball from when I was 5 and haven’t stopped loving it since!
My favourite TV program is: Love Island
My greatest sporting moment is: winning an all time national championship for the first time at my club the Bearcats. I also won MVP of that tournament.
My favourite band is: One Direction
My favourite song is: All I Do is Win
Someone I admire: My Mum
My favourite book is: Harry Potter
Funniest moment in my life was: my dad jokes (they’re bad)!
In my spare time I like to: clean and sleep
The best thing about attending SMC is: Making friends and many memories that will last forever.
One chore I don’t like doing is: Dishes
Leadership means to me: leading by example, working in a team environment and not asking people to do something I wouldn’t be prepared to do.
I have pet: Cats whose name are Merlin and Ella
To be a Lasallian Leader means: an honour to represent my school and getting an opportunity to win for my house.
This year as a College Leader I wish to be best known as: to be approachable, wanting people to feel comfortable to come up to me and feel that they can talk to me.
Five words which best describe my personality are: bubbly, energetic, enthusiastic, funny and caring.
A person I most admire is: Alex Starling – a basketballer that has helped me develop when I was younger. He has now grown as a player and playing at the highest level he can which is the 36er’s.
If I could create one change for SMC in 2024 it would be: Recognisable coaches that could help grow and develop sporting teams, especially focusing on knockout competitions.
A quote that I believe in is: Palma Merenti (Latin) – the reward to the one who earns it.
Something funny that has happened to me was: I’m not flexible and I tried tying my shoelace up but fell through a wall!
A teacher at SMC I admire is: Ms Packard as she has supported me throughout my schooling. From teaching me at the start when I was in Year 7, to coaching me on the netball court. She has taught me many things.
