I feel like the teachers went out of their way to make everyone comfortable and confident in their subjects, as well as in general school life. Especially all the extra help needed during the very trying Covid times. I was surprised at how well we adapted to the new way of learning, but I am happy that we got though it together!’

I would not have gotten the results I did without the unconditional support from the school. I am really proud of everyone in this journey alongside me as everyone has worked incredibly hard. I’m excited to move on to university and am looking forward to seeing the amazing things WA Academy will achieve.’
