FAITH, FORMER STUDENT
ST JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC COLLEGE, LOCHINVAR
In a world where you can be anything, what do you want to be?
I think the very top dream would be to do cinematography, audio lighting or even set design – something that involves movies and television.
How do you plan to get there?
At St Joseph’s, I completed the VET subject for the entertainment industry where I received a statement of attainment towards a Certificate III for live production and technical services. So through that I got some skills in lighting and audio, but now with my Communications degree I want to flesh those skills out and learn more.
What is your hope for the world in 10 years’ time?
I think a world where there is just a lot of harmony. At the moment, there is a lot going on in the world – a lot of war and problems. I’d hope for a place that is really diverse, where everyone is just fine with difference.
What do you think success looks like?
I think it’s a feeling – like you are totally happy and content with where you are in your place in the world.
LACHLAN, YEAR 6
ST THERESE'S PRIMARY SCHOOL, NEW LAMBTON
In a world where you can be anything, what do you want to be?
Probably a football player.
How do you plan to get there?
Well, obviously training, training hard, just working on stuff that I might not be the greatest at.
What is your hope for the world in 10 years’ time?
To be, just a nice person. You know, respected by people.
What do you think success looks like?
First people think of money and you know, maybe respect from others but I think a nice person that just brings everyone together and like a problem solver to sort stuff out and someone who thinks outside of the box.
DESTINY, YEAR 12
CATHERINE McAULEY CATHOLIC COLLEGE, MEDOWIE
In a world where you can be anything. what do you want to be? I want to be a person that is known for spreading kindness.
What’s your dream career?
When I graduate, I want to be a doctor, or I want to be a midwife. I've been set on that since Year 10.
What's your hope for the world in 10 years’ time?
This is a very big question. I’d like to have kids and play a big part in their life. I think I want the world to be more accepting for my kids.
What do you think success looks like?
I think success is different to many people. My idea of success is to be happy. Very happy, very fulfilled. Not necessarily a lot of money, but definitely well-travelled.
IMOGEN
ST NICHOLAS PATHWAYS PROGRAM
In a world where you can be anything, what do you want to be?
I want to be an early childcare worker because I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their development, and I'm eager to contribute to that growth in a positive and nurturing environment.
How do you plan to get there?
I want to go to university and get a degree in teaching – either early childhood or primary school, and right now, I'm also completing the Pathways placement as well.
What is your hope for the world in 10 years’ time?
One hope for the world in 10 years time is for early childcare workers to really deepen their understanding of early childhood development and gain practical experience in working with children. I’d like to see that every child has the chance to have an education and go to early education centres and school.
What do you think success looks like?
Personally, I think success is seeing a child's growth and their development. Really just helping the child with their growth and progress and contributing to build my knowledge in schools and early childhood education.
NOA, KINDERGARTEN
ST THERESE’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, NEW LAMBTON
In a world where you can be anything, what do you want to be?
I want to be an artist, and I also want to be school captain.
How do you plan to get there?
My school buddy is captain so I can just follow what she does. And with the artist plan, well I painted today at school and I am just interested in that. I painted a picture of a rainbow with stars in the sky at night time and Mrs Curtain helped me.
What would you like to see in the world in 10 years’ time?
A unicorn and a real fairy.
What do you think the perfect future would look like for you, for the world?
I’ll have three kids. Actually, we’ll have a castle built of mushrooms where my three kids will live.
LARA, YEAR 12
CATHERINE McAULEY CATHOLIC COLLEGE, MEDOWIE
In a world where you can be anything. What do you want to be?
I really want to be a mum – that sounds so generic but I’m so excited to have a family and be in my dream career and just be the best version of myself. Basically, I’d like to be giving back.
What is your dream career?
My dream career is a real estate agent. It’s helping families and young couples find a place to live their best lives.
How do you plan to get there?
Well, I actually started yesterday at a real estate. I'm starting in property management and a little bit of sales and front desk. And when I finish school, they offered me a job so that will boost me into the career, which is so cool.
What is your hope for the world in 10 years’ time?
I feel like the world is so good right now, but I feel it can be better. Particularly with bullying for young kids. I don't want that to happen to my kids and their friends. So I hope that’s better.
What do you think success looks like?
Success will be when I have a family and just go to work, have a good day, come home and give back to my kids. Hope that they've had a good day, cook them dinner, and give everyone a big hug. A happy family, and they give back to my parents and stuff like that.
