I it was an incredible experience, I did

have some hard times but it was all worth

it at the end! I am very proud of my grade

and thank to Ms Connell for pushing us

hard haha!” -2013 year 13 student (award winner)

I worked extremely hard with great

ambition to create a worthwhile piece of

AS coursework because I always think it is

better to live one year as a tiger than a

hundred as a sheep. The whole

experience was incredible.”
