I enhance my younger siblings' learning by tutoring them in Mathematics and English. This includes daily support of the Kumon exercises and school work. I patiently explain new topics and correct their work.

• Assisted with homework assignments, ensuring timely completion and thorough understanding of concepts.
• Improved overall academic performance by providing one-on-one tutoring in various subjects.
• Motivated them towards learning and studying to build self-confidence and reduce fear of failure.
• Helped my sister and brother to complete homework assignments.
• Supported with helpful study habits and test strategies.

While my parents work, I walk our dog for an hour each day and maintain its diet.

• Enhanced pet well-being through regular exercise, playtime, and companionship during walks.
• Ensured safety of my dog during walks by adhering to leash laws and monitoring for potential hazards.
• Developed strong relationship and trust with my dog through teaching him tricks, active play, petting, and treats.
• Adapted walking routines according to weather conditions to ensure the safety of all pets under my care.
• Enhanced socialisation of my dog by actively involving other dogs at the park in our play.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a program where you complete activities such as volunteering, learning new skills, staying active, and going on adventures to push yourself and achieve personal stretch goals. As part of the Program I am currently completing a volunteering course where we bake, sell and then donate the money made to an organisation. In this program I work as a cashier taking orders and counting the money along with baking the goods that are sold. I have also helped another team that uses the same facility to cook for homeless shelters when their operator numbers are down.

• Maintained clean, neat, and operational facilities to serve program needs.
• Represented the School positively and professionally while providing community with much-needed services.
• Approached issues proactively to best meet the needs of the School and the community.
• Supported efficient operations at homeless shelter, preparing meals and organising supplies.

• Collaborated on projects with other leadership members, ensuring cohesive curricular activities across the school.
• Supported the establishment of a positive school environment by making and encouraging programs that promoted inclusivity, diversity, assisting, and student engagement (for example, implemented volunteer programs such as 'Icy-pole Thursdays' and ran 'Harmony Day').
• Delivered speeches at assemblies, effectively communicating important information to the school community.
