Class of 2025 Reflects and Shares

We asked our Year 12 cohort to share their thoughts on what their best memory was from their time here at St Ursula’s. We also asked them to share their aspiration for their future as well as offer one piece of advice for students in younger years! We hope you enjoy reading a selection of these reflections.

Advice: My advice is to enjoy your high school years, try your best but really make sure you enjoy these years of your life! Stay positive and support each other at school, be yourself and be kind and grateful for those around you!

Emerence

Best memory: Extracurriculars and events like camps and definitely the walkathon have been the most memorable for me. I have so many great memories from just hanging out with my friends in our camp cabins or practicing in anticipation for performances.
Aspirations: Long term, I hope to find a career where I can make a real impact. Something that challenges me to keep learning while contributing to something bigger than myself. On a more personal note, I just want to try as many things as I can. I think the more experiences you have, the more you grow.
Advice: Keep yourself busy but also keep time for yourself. Get involved in activities and sports before you start drowning in assessments and applications.

Aspirations: I really hope to study medicine in the future, and eventually work in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, however, I just hope that I’m happy with whatever I’m doing in the future.
Advice: Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone! Make new friends, try new things, whatever it is you do, never settle for ordinary when you have the opportunity to do so much more 🙂
