Life beyond Radford

Life has recently changed this year with my husband and I welcoming our first child into the world. This has obviously turned our life upside-down in the best possible way. Prior to Franklin's birth, I was working full time in a job I really enjoyed, playing social netball twice a week and meeting up with friends and family often. I intend to go back to netball and work at the end of this year, but for now I am enjoying getting to know the new little one in my world.

When I was younger I always thought about being a primary school teacher like my mum.

Year nine camp was an extremely memorable experience. I had been dreading it for the entire year as I was not the most adventurous person but I had a fantastic time. I came out the other side having a great sense of achievement and appreciated the opportunity to get to know people who were not in my immediate friendship group a little better.

I believe the education that I received at Radford gave me the ability to choose to study whatever I wanted to after school. It was not easy to decide what I wanted to do but I believe that I was lucky to have a number of doors open because of my education in High School.

Actually it did. Radford set me up to do my best in the ATAR and allowed me options at university. The degree I got helped me get my first job and from there I believe that my work ethic, taught to me by my parents and learned at Radford got me further more quickly that I anticipated.

While the ATAR is important, don't let it stress you out completely. If you want to go to university, there are many ways to do so. Just try your best and work it out from there.
