This is a challenging process teaching someone to swim in water when they are 3-7 years old.

During my >me at Camp Australia I worked in an Assistance posi>on but would also be a coordinator when there was a roll that needed filling in. This would mean that I would be going to unknown schools and running programs with children that didn’t know me. This was great for my confidence when I was able to show my strength in leadership through having to run programs that were unaware of myself, I learnt the importance of having a voice and managing a room or children I had just met.

During this >me, Monique has been a student in my classes, as well as undertaking significant roles of responsibility in areas where I have required students to perform leadership roles. Monique has this year been Swimming Captain of the Girls swim team, which required a huge amount of responsibility and coordina>on of large numbers of girls over the course of the season. She displayed on many occasions an ability to work with a wide cross sec>on of individuals, including her own peer group. Throughout the season, I was able to rely on Monique’s maturity to manage here team and perform her du>es and responsibili>es without any difficulty. This year Monique has also performed her responsibili>es as a House Prefect of McArthur House in a very commihed and competent manner. She has gained the respect of the students in the House and worked hard to ensure that all students in the House are supported. As the Head of House, I have appreciated the way Monique has performed her du>es as Prefect and I have always been able to rely on her if I ever required assistance with House mahers. In conclusion, I highly recommend Monique Day as a young person with many fine and admirable quali>es. She is an excellent communicator with a very strong work ethic and I am proud to vouch for her as a person of excellent character.
