Awards Assembly

We were excited to have a special guest speaker at our Awards Assembly on Friday.  Michelle Payne took time out of her extremely busy schedule to share with us some of the amazing experiences she has had since becoming the first female to win the Melbourne Cup 10 years ago.

Michelle spoke about the importance of setting goals and then working hard to achieve them, sometimes having to make sacrifices to get where she wanted to be. Her journey  included a number of setbacks, including serious injury, but Michelle was always determined to keep doing what she loved and to end her riding career on her own terms.

Now a successful trainer, Michelle encouraged us to be appreciative of our families and the opportunities provided by our education, and to pursue our dreams with determination and a positive mindset. It was inspiring to hear from someone who epitomises achievement and excellence, and we thank Michelle for visiting us and enlightening us about her amazing story.
