Describe your experience at Prendiville Catholic College
We enjoyed a unique opportunity to be pioneers as the first cohort through the College. I have many fond memories of the early years; being taught by some amazing and dedicated teachers and making some great friends along the way. It was a small community in those days. Everyone knew everyone and we were well supported. The College physically grew with us over those years. We were involved in all aspects of the College’s development including gardening and building in the early years.
How has Prendiville Catholic College influenced you and made you the person that you are?
I developed my love of writing, music and faith while learning at the College. We had many unique opportunities while at the College to develop ourselves as people. As part of the Student Leadership Council I was given opportunities to organise, lead and public speak which helped me to grow as a person.
What were your most memorable moments at Prendiville Catholic College?
Social events which fostered a strong sense of community such as picnic days, school discos and camps.
