Zahlia Niemann

College Leader

My name is: Zahlia Niemann

My Leadership role in 2025 at SMC is: A College Leader

The thing/s that I do that I am the proudest of is/are: my sports and my academics because I have achieved many great things over the years, and still have time to hang with my friends and have a good time

My favourite TV program/s is/are: Survivor, My life with the Walter boys, Ginny and Georgia, Surviving Summer (anything to do with teenage love/drama)

My greatest sporting moment: I have many, but probably winning Gold at the u18 National Basketball Championships in 2023

My favourite song/s is/are: anything Drake, any pump up pregame songs, or any sing along love songs (anything really)

Someone I admire: my mum, because she always works hard for the family, and I appreciate her so much

My favourite book/s is/are: I love autobiographies of sports players

Funniest moment in my life was: probably many moments but I love the moments when you make a joke and someone adds to it, and then someone adds something else and all of a sudden you can’t breathe!!

In my spare time I like to: Besides sport, I love to watch movies, scroll on tik tok and relax

The best thing about attending SMC is: The opportunities and support the school provides for all students

One chore I don’t like doing is: Dong the dishes- I can’t stand it!!!

Leadership means to me: Being a positive influence and role model to all students at St Michael’s College

To be a Lasallian Leader means: To always put the college values first and fulfill the mission of the founder, St John Baptist

This year as a College Leader I wish to be best known as: Someone who is respectful, inclusive and gives back to the St Michael’s community

Five words which best describe my personality are: Trustworthy, Respectful, Empathetic, Kind, Loving

If I could create one change for SMC in 2025 it would be: make more of an inclusive environment for all students to feel safe. AND limit large gatherings and eating in the main toilets!!!!!

A quote that I believe in is: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Something funny that has happened to me was: Tripping over the stairs during a whole school mass during the Eucharist

A teacher at SMC I admire is: Mr De Silva because he is always curious about students’ interest and hobbies and is always doing things for others out of compassion.

Something interesting about me no one knows? I use to do bowling lessons
