Humans of Kilvington
Our guest today on 'Humans of Kilvington' is our nurse, Elly Richardson.
1. When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up?
For a very long time, I wanted to follow in my Mum’s footsteps and become a Paediatric Nurse, but in high school I watched quite a lot of David Attenborough documentaries and ended up studying Animal and Veterinary Bioscience at University for a year! I then came to my senses and swapped back over to Nursing!
2. What football team do you support (if any)?
The mighty Cats!
3. You can travel to any destination in the world, where would you go?
Japan or the Greek islands would be my next go-to destinations!
4. Funniest/most memorable moment at Kilvington?
Completing the 26-hour marathon! I would not have made it through without the support and encouragement from all of the Kilvington community!
5. Share something about yourself that no one would ever guess.
I have Lebanese heritage on my father’s side of the family.
6. If you could swap your job with anyone else at Kilvington, who would you swap with?
A PE/Sport/Health teacher!
7. Your favourite thing about working at Kilvington?
Getting to interact, engage, look after and help educate a vast array of students, ranging from three to 18 years old!
Thanks Elly!
Ride for Eat Up Australia
Our Year 7s recently rode a total of 557.2km (equivalent of Melbourne to Eden, NSW) to raise funds for Eat Up Australia, who provide lunches for school children who would otherwise go hungry.
The students also held a sandwich making session, creating 994 sandwiches in an hour!
Lyndon, the founder of Eat Up, joined us to cheer along and thank the students.
Well done everyone!
