2001

Adriana Forte was a student at St Mary's College from 1995 to 2001. She started in Year 6 and graduated in Year 12. She enjoyed participating in masses, camps and once was elected Student Representative. She was part of the St John Ambulance Ambassador Program YMCA and achieved her First Aid Certificate.

Friendship is one of the important parts of school life for her. She loved going to the library to study with her friends. Adriana said that for her friendships are really important, and you need to take care of them because they are one of the most important parts of your life. Adriana told me that St Mary's taught her how to be a good person because being a good person can make the world a better place. SMC taught her to keep those special friendships alive with her because they might just help you in the future.

Candice Ferguson walked through the gates of St Mary's college in 1997, to commence Year 8. She graduated in 2001.

During Candice's time there was a school production called The Wizz, the school's take on The Wizard of Oz. Candice auditioned for the lion and won the role. The production was one of her most vivid memories. She put a lot of time and effort into her role and her final performance. The show turned out magnificently. Everyone cheered, and it was clear that all the girl's endless persistence and burning passion paid off.

In year 12, Candice was absorbed in her studies for her final exams, but sadly as her end of year exams were creeping close Candice grew ill and was hospitalised, missing her exams. However, Candice used her midterm results as she couldn't re-do the exams and she still managed to be accepted into her dream university.
