Interview with former DSC student Ryan Cheng - Class of 2012

Favourite memory about Doncaster Secondary College:

My favourite memory from Doncaster would have to be playing soccer on the courts with my mates. I’m still really good friends with a lot of them today and our friendships were forged on those courts - rain, hail or shine...literally.

Since finishing Year 12 I have:

Since leaving school I’ve graduated from Monash with an Honours degree in Criminology. I’ve also travelled widely anywhere from Morocco to Cambodia - and freelanced for a whole host of brands including Huffington Post, AWOL and People. Currently, I am working as a Digital Strategist at Deakin University. I also run my own creative agency on the side, Rabble Creative.

Do you have any advice you'd like to share with current DSC students? 

Advice for the current crop? Hard work wins every time. Now that I’ve left school for a while I realise that school wasn’t so much about learning math or science. It was more about learning how to be disciplined and work at things that I didn’t necessarily enjoy. Once you leave school with that discipline, imagine all the possibilities when you can apply those lessons - hard work, perseverance, a willingness to learn - against something you are truly passionate about. You’ll be unstoppable.
