Congratulations!
Mitchell Bell
Mitchell enrolled with SIDE this year as a medical referral in order to complete his Year 12 studies. Mitchell had significant interruption to his Year 11 studies and moved to Perth in January for medical treatment. Despite being away from home and friends, juggling appointments, medications and undergoing treatment, Mitchell proved himself to be a consistent and dedicated student. Mitchell did not ask for extensions but just did his best to catch up when he was well.
Mitchell went into hospital in July and then was back into his studies as soon as he was able, sitting his mock WACE exams in hospital eight weeks later. Mitchell is a delightful and determined young man who has taken all these challenges in his stride and is a worthy recipient of this award.
Chantelle Joubert
Chantelle enrolled with SIDE at the beginning of this year. Following the birth of her baby in May, she successfully managed to juggle the challenges of being a parent with the demands of her SIDE studies. She impressed her SIDE teachers with her organisational skills, her self-motivation and her positive and proactive approach to her studies.
She is to be congratulated on her achievements this year and we wish her all the best for her future studies.
