What contributed to your final year/and or HSC success?

The cohesion and closeness of our year group made a great contribution to my success and final the enjoyment of my final year. Everyone is always so supportive and can easily chat to in the common room, even if you never really had a conversation with them before. Because of such cohesion I think our year group as a whole was able to succeed. I collaborated with others and HSC became less of a competition against each other, but was a race we were running together in.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

I see myself fully immersed in the fashion industry, studying internationally and increasing my Japanese speaking skills. Alternatively, I would like to be studying to become a clinical psychologist, while still pursuing my love for fashion in my own time and broadening my language skills of Japanese, so that I can stay in touch with my culture.
