Fenwick has been my home away from home since day one, my best friends are in this house, some of my favorite teachers are leading it and I can see the potential we have shown with last year's win.

I remember in my first day in Year 9 I was warmly welcomed into Fenwick with everyone greeting me, just the simple hello meant a lot to a new student. This experience has made me very approachable, easily talking with any student, old or new.

I am a very adaptable person in the sense that I can take over any role in the task at hand be it leadership or working as part of a team.

I formed friendships with numerous new peers in the first few weeks, and my group expanded significantly as the weeks progressed.…
