Despite the challenges we faced, both individually and collectively, our students and staff demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience, emerging stronger and more united than ever. As we bid farewell to this term, it is the perfect time to reflect on our accomplishments and celebrate the incredible journey we have undertaken.

 

First and foremost, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Hollows House students for their relentless dedication and commitment to their studies.

Movie you would recommend: A movie I would recommend is “Instant Family” on Netflix. Instant Family is a heartwarming and entertaining film that explores the joys and challenges of adoption, with strong performances and a positive message about the transformative power of love and family. It offers a realistic portrayal of the adoption process while striking a balance between comedy and drama.

Quote you live by: “Nobody should expect more of you than you expect of yourself “Who do you look up to and why? Someone I look up to is my mum. She is someone who has shown me love, care, and support throughout my life. She has demonstrated resilience, sacrifice, and dedication in raising me while managing her responsibilities. Her unconditional love, guidance, and the values she instilled in me made her a significant role model.

What is the best thing about being a student at HPSC? The diversity and inclusivity of different ethnic communities. It exposes me to different cultures and allows me to learn more about the world.
