she thoroughly enjoyed. Her teachers encouraged her participation and enjoyment in the program. 2020 provided an opportunity for Natalie to learn how to balance her work and study. In doing this, she has also been able to commit to additional activities and challenge herself in new areas. The enrichment activities offered in the latter half of the year provided a range of new opportunities such as the First Aid course and Community Services, amongst many other options.
