Class of 2017 Returns to Speak to Yr 12

Adam McNeil, Tom MacDonald, Natasha Perrett, Katie Treasure, Greta Argyropolous and Chloe Li shared their experiences with the Yr 12 cohort during the Monday Tutor period. They were chosen as they could provide perspectives on studying at different universities, private colleges, interstate, living at college, how elite athlete/scholarship programs have benefited them so far and what happens if you don’t enjoy your course and decide to take a Gap Year. There was a great deal of sound advice and reflections on the reality of tertiary study but overall the feeling was that this was a really enjoyable time of their lives and they were happy with their chosen paths.
