Grade 5 Diving In

Written by Kawthar and Eleanor

On the 7th of November, Olympic level diver, Laura Hingston, came to Albanvale PS to spoke to the Grade 5 cohort. She came to give us an inspirational and motivational speech in hopes of helping us out in our future journey to becoming Young Leaders. 

 

Laura shared some interesting first moments in her career. It was particularly interesting that she began her career in the junior level of diving at 18 years old after back surgery which led her to giving up her dream as an Olympic gymnast. This particular moment made a big impact on us: a message to never give up. Her determination was inspiring and a quality that us, the Grade 5s, hope to implement as Young Leaders.

 

We thank Laura for such a memorable experience!
