Student Achievers - Piper Delbridge
Posted on December 31, 2019
My name is Piper.
I am 18 years old, the youngest of 4 siblings and live in Adelaide with my parents, brother and my 2 year old beagiler Ellie. I like all sports but especially netball, I love the ocean and relaxing with friends in my down time.
My experience at 91×ÔÅÄ…
I began studying at Open Access College in 2018 at the beginning of my year 12, completing Stage 2 Health through the college.
My school didn’t have enough students to run Health that year; so I investigated 91×ÔÅÄ. I had never heard of 91×ÔÅÄ beforehand and was quite nervous about attending classes over the internet however I am now so thankful that I had the opportunity.
I found it a challenge to attend my lesson at the same time each week due to many other school commitments clashing, however my 91×ÔÅÄ teacher was so understanding and flexible, always making sure that if I was unable to attend that he would phone me to catch me up on what I had missed.
I really benefited from the experience, I it significantly improved my communication skills as I had to engage with complete strangers in an unfamiliar environment. It didn’t take long to adapt because everyone was so friendly and encouraging.
I could not be more appreciative of the ongoing support my teacher Daniel gave me, if it wasn’t for his knowledge and supportive nature I would never have achieved the results I did.
And today...
I successfully completed my SACE, achieving an ATAR of 95.80 and receiving a merit in Health and a A+ in textile studies. I will be attending Adelaide University in the second semester to study a Bachelor of Health and Medical Science and then hopefully transfer into post graduate Medicine. Once I have completed my university I hope to go on and be a Paediatric Urologist.
