Student achievements

Congratulations to the following students: 

Sasha Bennett (Year 7), who received an encouragement award in the junior division of the Rostrum Voice of Youth Tasmania Final. 

The award recognises those students who demonstrate great potential in their speaking ability. Well done, Sasha! We look forward to watching you further develop your skills and confidence in this space. 

Holly Teale (Year 10), who has been selected in the Tasmanian U16 Girls state hockey team. The team will be competing at the 2022 School Sports Australia Championships, to be held in Hobart from 30 July to 6 August. This is a sensational achievement, Holly. Well done and good luck for the nationals! 

Audrey Long (Year 7), who was acknowledged in the Mercury (Saturday 14 May)as the driving force behind Hive & Cob leatherwood popcorn, a new business venture she helps run with her mum, Anita, of the fourth-generation Coolgardie Farm, Richmond. 

At just 13 years of age, it's fantastic to see Audrey's entrepreneurial spirit already blazing. The popcorn has created quite the buzz among local and now interstate buyers, with Audrey and her mum hoping to eventually expand the product line to include leatherwood sweets. Yum! 

If you have a student achievement to share, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch by emailing stmarys@smc.tas.edu.au.
