SIENA NOTT (CLASS OF 2025)

Congratulations to Siena Nott, our 2025 Dux of the School, who achieved an outstanding ATAR of 99.70. Here, she reflects on her experience.

As I look back on the last six years, I realise that it is impossible to remember it all. Yet, what I will never forget is the people who were around me. Despite my attitude and competitiveness, between the many tears, those who helped me laugh reminded me who I am, and what’s actually important. They reminded me to hold my head high, because I was giving it my all. You all mean more to me than anything. Thank you for caring.

So to the class of 2026, ‘27, ‘28… to the McKinnon community: just give it your best. Give your best to school, to your friends, to life.

No number will ever define you, but how much you care certainly will.
