Childhood

See here for blog posts about my childhood. Otherwise, continue scrolling to see some of my achievements.

In 2009, I was proud to be School Captain of Ilfracombe State School.

In 2009, I won the Dux Award, presented by Ilfracombe State School principal, Brendon Thorpe; as well as the Jean McMaster Perpetual Award, presented by QCWA President, Joyce Rogers.

When my hometown of Ilfracombe celebrated the Centenary of Australia’s First Motor Mail Service, I won Best Dressed. The Mail Service ran between Ilfracombe and neighbouring town, Isisford, from 1910.

Here I am, pictured with my sisters, and on the truck parading with teachers and students from the school I previously attended.

I won the Clover Nolan Award (Winner) at the Waltzing Matilda Junior Bush Poetry Festival in Winton in 2010. I recited the poem “We’re all Australians now” by A. B. “Banjo” Paterson in front of the hundreds of people whom attended.
