CELEBRATING LEARNING AND SUCCESS
Distinguished Achievers’ 2022 Assembly
Each year, the John Therry community celebrates the hard work, dedication and achievements of our HSC students. On Thursday, 16th February, we invited our 2022 distinguished achievers to a College assembly to acknowledge their diligence and success. Tameka Thorne, our DUX for 2022, thanked her teachers, friends and family for their support as well as offered students advice about overcoming the inevitable obstacles in life highlighting two sayings that guided her through her HSC-one from her Primary school Principal, “Opportunity and growth comes through placing yourself in uncomfortable situations’ and the other from her Mum, who advised Tameka to always do her personal best. Tameka ended her speech with the following advice and words of encouragement for the 2023 HSC cohort: Embrace the uncomfortable and to always try your personal best…dream big and believe in yourself.
Acclerated Learning
We are very proud of Amanda Xureb (Year 11) who achieved a Band 6 in her HSC Modern History exam as part of the College’s acceleration program.
The Eileen O’Connor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship
The Eileen O’Connor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship provides opportunities for Aboriginal students to access educational opportunities that they may otherwise find hard to do on their own. We are very proud of Tameka Thorne and Sokowa Parker who have won the scholarship to study Medicine and Teaching respectively. We are also very proud of Rainer Smith who received the ‘Steps into Teaching’ Scholarship for 2023.
Nominations and Selections
The College also received 2 InTech nominations for the students’ exceptional projects in Industrial Technology Timber and 2 OnStage selections and 1 OnStage nomination. This is a great feat and we congratulate the students and their teachers for this excellent achievement.
