VEVINA IS FAST-TRACKED TO UNIVERSITY
Vevina Yang (Class of 2022) had a momentous start to her year, receiving news that she had been accepted into The University of Western Australia (UWA) to study a Bachelor of Music as an early entrant. Discussing her journey to date, it is clear that Vevina has had a passion for music for most of her life. “I started playing the piano when I was four, and I also play the violin as a second instrument which I started when I was nine. I’ve always had a passion for music ever since I was young. It’s always been in my daily life and it’s what I know,” said Vevina. Joining the College orchestra and ensembles in Year 7, music was a big part of Vevina’s life at All Saints’. These programs allowed Vevina to hone her musical talents. Later, several opportunities presented themselves, including an offer to join the Symphony Orchestra.
Discussing the news of the UWA acceptance letter, Vevina mentioned she was surprised, overjoyed and nervous all at once. “My parents were really thrilled! I told my friends about it, and they were pretty shocked, but were very supportive too,” said Vevina. After studying a Bachelor of Music at UWA, Vevina would like to continue her studies to attain her Masters degree and a PhD. Her career aspiration is to become a musician, performer, music teacher or music examiner. “I haven’t really figured it all out yet, but I know with certainty that my future plans will involve music,” said Vevina.

• ASC 015 Under 14 Boys had a slow start to the game but managed to hang on to win by one point against Apollos. • ASC 022 Under 16 Boys lost by only one point. It was an absolute nail-biter with the game coming down to free throws. • ASC 032 Under 12 – B1 Boys had a tough game against the top team and were level for the first half. The boys put in a commendable effort all the way until the end, which was fantastic to see, but unfortunately lost to the Roadies. • ASC 030 Under 12 – B3 Girls had a very challenging game against the top team, Roadies. They played with a great deal of spirit and sportsmanship but unfortunately lost their game. We can’t wait to watch our teams in the Winter Season.
