For Year 10 student Paige, attending Kildare College was never in the picture for her future, nor did she know that it was even an option!
Paige believes that 'Kildare College chose me'. A proud Indigenous person from the Arabana mob, and raised by her mother, Paige was awarded an Indigenous Scholarship and commenced her education at the College in 2019. Paige fell in love with the College after participating in a College Tour, and was immediately able to picture herself walking through the gates of the College. She believes that higher level intervention and spirituality led her on the path to where she is today.
At the College, Paige enjoys Music, using it as a medium to express herself in different ways, and finding happiness in the shared experiences it offers through listening, performing and practicing. Her involvement in extra-curricular activities such as the music nights and vocal ensemble are some of the happiest things she enjoys at the College.
Paige is also involved in the Living Justice | Living Peace and Nunga Groups, and enjoys sharing these learning opportunities and developing strong relationships with her like-minded peers.
With a happy disposition and forever a smile on her face, Paige hopes to complete further study and work in the medical field as a General Sugeon when she finishes her College education. In her spare time, she is working on launching her own small business.
Paige has appreciated the support and guidance of her teachers, education support officers, and counsellors, who are only too willing to assist her when she has needed them. As a student, Paige has learnt that 'you are always accepted at Kildare College', and has enjoyed the experience of the welcoming and hospitable environment, humbled that she has found her place, on 'Her Journey' at the College.
