Make the most of your time in Year 12 because the year will fly by. Build positive relationships and immerse yourself into the community because you never know what will eventuate. Most importantly, leave the College a little better, more-well-rounded individual than the one that started. You don’t have to make drastic changes. Alexandra Gerrard Be kind and be positive. You have a big influence on those around you, so lead by example and help anyone who needs helping. However as well as that, don’t be afraid to ask for help yourself. Year 12 can be a hard year and therefore it can sometimes be difficult to stay bright and bubbly all the time, but that’s ok. You will have good days and you will have bad days, just remember to do your best and be kind to others. Never forget that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so make the most of it while it lasts.
