Our past students have become doctors, scientists, authors, teachers and successful businessmen and women. At the assembly they were represented by Sonny Tan, a secondary school Maths teacher, Thanh Ho, a scientist working in biomedical research and Amy Lister a pilot and great role model for girls. Lach-lan Burgin, a passionate writer, spoke about the exam techniques he used to gain a study score of 48 out 50 for English.
