The Italy trip last year was really good. It showed me how to cope without my parents help and be more self sufficient. I enjoyed all the day trips, all the amazing places we stayed, and also learning about another culture. I was lucky enough to be able to extend the trip by staying with family members at the end.

I got chosen to coach for the Year 7 Soccer team. The boys had big expectations of me but I soon eased into the role. On Sports Day I was nervous but also excited. I was thrilled my team got into the final which we won with an exciting goal with only two minutes to go. We all sang the Melbourne Victory chant at the end. Josh- Year 8

To achieve this I played tennis for my physical recreation, reading as my skill, and helped out at my local tennis club for my service. It was a great experience, especially the camps. I highly recommend it. Hassan, Year 10
