Year started at Emanuel: 2007 ATAR: 90.10

Emanuel School has been a place where I can always be comfortable and feel accepted.

Greg credits Emanuel School for encouraging him to balance various aspects of his life: sport, learning and friends. It is a place he will remember with fondness in "the uncertain years to come".

Greg describes himself as a studious and sporty student who is always prepared to step out of his comfort zone and try new things. He has learnt how to develop good study practices at school and has a positive attitude to learning and dealing with HSC pressures.

In addition to his academic success, Greg represented the School at CIS for Athletics, placing third and was the winning age champion twice at CDSSA. He can regularly be found training for upcoming competitions and meets.

His peers describe him as a good friend with a great sense of humour. They recognise him as an exceptional writer with a deep passion for JRR Tolkien and his work. Greg plans to study Ancient History at university and is looking forward to new challenges ahead.
