“I chose a traineeship as, due to illness in year 12, I didn’t receive an ATAR so I needed an alternative path to teaching. I continued with a Cert IV in Education Support completing in 2024. Halfway through I had car accident and was rushed to the Alfred for emergency surgery. What would I say to others: Remember that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes it takes longer to get there.” –
