Favourite School Memories: I really loved Careers Week in year 10. It was a great opportunity to explore different jobs available. I also loved year 12 camp, and feel like it was a great way for our class to bond. Advice for Other Students: Do your assignments as you go and don’t try to do them all at once. Ask teachers for help if you are unsure of what to do next. Future Plans: I’m not sure what I want to do yet, but I plan to work here for a year to save up before moving to Adelaide.

Favourite School Memories: My favourite school memory is Careers Week and Work Experience. While it was a while ago, the memories I made and the experiences I learnt have stuck with me to this day.

One other piece of advice is to hand in as many drafts as you can as it’ll only help you achieve higher.Future Plans: I’m uncertain about my future plans but would like to do something that involves working on a personal level with animals or the environment as it’s something I’ve been passionate about for a long time.

Tiana Woolard

You have had many great times over the year, and you’ve had some tough times. I know that as you transition to life beyond KICE there will be many more ups and downs and I ask you as you prepare for this time and your life beyond KICE that you do a few things, as suggested by your teachers:

No matter what you choose to do, make sure that you dedicate yourself to putting in 100%, always give it your best.

Remember that you don’t have to follow the crowd, your journey, will be just that, yours.

Do the right thing, even if no one is watching.

Study and work hard and remember that you’re investing in yourself with every task that you complete.

And finally, don’t be in too big of a hurry to grow up. These are some of best times in your life. Don’t rush past them.

There are great things coming, please know that we as teachers and as a school are here for you and so are your parents.

The KICE Team
