ince graduating from St Mary’s, time has absolutely flown by, and it feels surreal that seven months ago I was still in Year 12. However, reflecting on my schooling, I now realise how many aspects of my education have shaped my current character. This year I have begun studying a Bachelor of Philosophy majoring in Integrated Medical Sciences and Clinical Practice with a direct pathway to Doctor of Medicine. While this has been hard work, I have been loving all aspects of university life so far and have found that I have much more time for non-academic pursuits. For me, this has been extremely fulfilling, and I have really been enjoying volunteering with various university organisations, such as Ignite Mentoring and Dr YES, in conjunction with my studies. However, I cannot reflect on where I am currently without expressing enormous appreciation for St Mary’s. The support given to me by all the staff has equipped me with the tools I need to thrive in the world outside of the school gates. To the Class of 2021 and all the younger years, I wish you all the best, and know that if you stay resilient and compassionate in these ever-changing times, you will succeed in whatever pathway you choose.

ourneying outside the gates of St Mary’s into the world of university and ‘adult life’ has, so far, truly been an adventure. University is very different from school; no longer are there bells telling you when to eat or move on to the next class, no longer do you need to attend classes in person and no longer will you see, and perhaps even wear, as much maroon! This surge in independence and decision-making, whilst empowering, has at times made me feel somewhat like a small fish in a big pond. The guidance from my amazing teachers, and the resilience and camaraderie instilled in me at St Mary’s, have prepared me to embrace this change by being a self-motivated learner. Currently, I am thoroughly enjoying studying Medicine at UWA, as well as playing social sport with friends, tutoring and volunteering with Dr YES. I am really looking forward to the next semester!
