Proudly announcing Toowoomba Anglican School, Head Girl, Jasmine Barui and Head Boy, Addison Hickman for 2019
JASMINE
“2019 will be my 14th year at Toowoomba Anglican School and to say that my time here has been merely ‘eventful’ is a gross understatement. With this being my final year, I am bursting with anticipation to see what the future holds, both at school and beyond. Secondary school has given me the opportunity to study a plethora of subjects from complex and rigorous mathematics to the elegant art of language. In each of my subjects, I strive to look beyond the content taught in class to further extend my knowledge and fuel my passion for learning.
Thanks to my involvement in my school community, I have been given many opportunities to further my co-curricular education. Notably, last year, I was granted a Youth Arts Bursary from the Empire Theatre while also being involved in choir, basketball and external acting lessons. The nurturing and loving community at the school has really made the school my second home. In the future, I see myself studying International Law and Diplomacy while also continuing to study languages and acting. I wish to travel to a variety of different places and experience many cultures in the hopes of obtaining a greater understanding and appreciation of the world I am living in.
I am blessed to be a part of a school such as Toowoomba Anglican School. We are a nurturing and supportive community that works to encourage each of its students to become their very best self.
ADDISON
“I joined Toowoomba Anglican School in 2014, when I commenced Grade 7. During my first year, I was very fortunate to receive a Year 7 School Leader position and the EA Gill prize for the boy that best served his school. I have also had the privilege to be a part of the schools development into a K-Year 12 school. I am currently studying English, Mathematics B, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. When I finish school I am aiming to go to University and study Podiatry. Outside the classroom,
I partake in a range of activities and sports. Whilst in Year 10, I was able to complete a Certificate 3 in Retail and a Traineeship in Retail operations. Undertaking these courses, was really useful in assisting me to understand my role as a part-time employee with a large corporate business. Whilst at Toowoomba Anglican School I have been actively involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Program. I have achieved Bronze and Silver awards. I am currently working on my Gold award and I hope to complete it in my final year of school.
Rugby Union is a passion of mine. Along with playing the game, I also give back to the sport through officiating. I am a Level 1 referee, which is an amazing achievement for someone my age. I am grateful for the support that Toowoomba Anglican School has provided me in both playing and officiating at the State level. I am very much looking forward to the challenges Year 12 and Head Boy will bring.
