TED KEEN TO DELVE INTO THE CRIMINAL MIND

THE

WITH TED HARVEY, WHO GRADUATED IN 2020, TO FIND OUT WHAT HE’S BEEN UP TO SINCE LEAVING APC.

AT APC I studied a wide range of subjects . I covered English, Maths, Science, and Humanities in my VCE studies but enjoyed Legal Studies the most.

I chose a wide range to keep my options open, but enjoyed legal the most because of my interest in the law.

THE best part of studying at APC was the friendships I made. I knew essentially no one when I was first in year 7 but my friendship group is made up predominantly of people I met at APC.

I also enjoyed finishing VCE and the relationships I built with teachers throughout the final years.

SINCE finishing VCE I’ve started studying a Bachelor of Law (Honours) at Monash University. I’m in my third year at university and enjoy it a lot. I have also started working as a Chiropractic Assistant, which is essentially a glorified receptionist (see above).

I have continued playing sport and enjoy that (when I’m not injured which seems to be hard to escape).

HOPEFULLY in 10 years I will be a practicing criminal defence lawyer in Melbourne. While there are many areas of law I haven’t studied yet, I imagine I will remain interested in criminal law the most.

In my personal life I would seriously hope I’ve moved out of home or something has gone terribly wrong!

A BIT of advice I would give to the current year 12s is to ensure that they try their best. Regardless of what the outcome is, they will feel much better having sacrificed a few small things for a few months, as opposed to neglecting their studies now and regretting it later.

Start practice exams as early as possible, do as many of them as possible under proper exam conditions, and don’t be afraid or embarrassed to make mistakes prior to the exams and assessments.

THANK you to the APC teachers that made high school so enjoyable, especially Miss O’Rourke.
