Work History

Member

Interact Club
  • During my time in the Interact Club, I have contributed to the success of talent shows hosted by the Interact Club at my school by providing crucial support backstage to ensure the show ran flawlessly.
  • Interact Club has raised money for a variety of charities, and I have helped with these fundraising events to the best of my ability.
  • For example, we held an ice cream sale after school, which raised money for a local charity, and I had the job of promoting the ice cream sale to the students at the school.
  • I have also helped in collecting donations for local charities during school.

Member

Bushranger
  • In 2021, I was part of a group of bushrangers that looked after an indigenous garden located in our school.
  • We cleaned the indigenous garden so that students who walk around the garden can appreciate the native plants grown in the garden.
  • I have planted many trees while volunteering in activities hosted by bushrangers, one of which was when we went on an excursion to plant 100 trees.
  • I have also helped to grow plants such as tomatoes and mint in our school.
  • I have gone out to the creek that runs alongside our school, and I have helped to keep the creek area clean by removing weeds so that native plants around the area can flourish.

Volunteer

City of Canning
  • My mom works for the city of Canning as a cultural ambassador and has hosted many events for the community.
  • I have volunteered to help with music and lighting during these events.
