Jenna Kaplan

Award for 2017: Academic Excellence

Year entered Emanuel: 2012

My time at Emanuel has shaped and will impact the rest of my life.

Jenna is an accomplished student with an excellent work ethic and aptitude for Mathematics and Science. It is no surprise that she has represented the School as part of the Da Vinci Decathalon team since Year 7 and won numerous awards for her academic prowess.

Jenna’s teachers have commended her highly developed communication skills and her ability to apply her scientific knowledge to solve problems and explain complicated phenomena. Jenna wants to be remembered for her enthusiasm, participation in school life and strong work ethic. She is described by a fellow student as being very determined.

Jenna feels that at Emanuel she has learnt to pursue her goals and to never give up. Year 10 Ayekah Camp was a highlight for Jenna, feeling that the connections formed within her year group are irreplaceable.

Jenna not only enjoys and excels in her academic studies, she is also a keen sportsperson and musician, participating in State-level tennis, singing in school choirs and playing guitar and drums in the School Rock Bands.
