Annabelle O'Hara

I am a positive, resilient, motivated student with strong leadership and communication skills. I am passionate about educating children and I plan to study Primary Education at university in 2027. I come from a large family and I enjoy being part of a team. I also love playing and coaching sport and am committed to fostering sportsmanship and positive team dynamics. I am dedicated to contributing to the community and enjoy the challenge of learning new skills.
