Rayan Jape 2020 GATE/Scholarship Winner

Good evening Mr Ng, Dr Law, my esteemed teachers, respected parents and fellow scholarship recipients. My name is Rayan Jape and today I would like to thank Northshore Coaching College and my teachers for this opportunity to share my experience with you.

I still remember when a few years ago, it felt like a struggle pulling myself out of bed every Saturday morning when mum and dad used to call out “Wake up Rayan, its time for Northshore.” Honestly, it was tricky to organize myself for the classes while managing co-curricular activities and of course homework! But as time passed, I started enjoying the challenge and this remarkably helped develop my critical thinking, problem solving and organizational skills. I learnt to enhance my performance under time-restricted challenges and handle the pressure better with the help of the time bound term ending tests. The holiday programs helped to consistently reflect on my skills and to make a plan for continuous improvement with the constructive feedback from my teachers. Discussion of different concepts and practice during the weekly sessions consistently helped build my interest and confidence in Maths, English and Creative Writing. These fundamental blocks will help me pave a strong foundation to expand my abilities further. Northshore taught me the importance of perspiration and perseverance. I conclude my speech today with this famous quote from former American Army General Colin Powell “A Dream Doesn’t become a Reality through Magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.’ So go on, achieve your dreams through Northshore!

Thank you.

Speech from Peng Sheng—2020 ATAR (99.80) Good evening guests, parents, staff and students

My name is Peng Sheng, a former student at North Shore Lynwood Campus. Life at North Shore began in Year 3, when I was met with the sudden reality of having to attend tutoring class every Saturday morning. Dragging myself out of bed at 7:30am on my first day, the only thought in my head was: “What did I do to deserve this?”. Following a very grumpy car ride with my mother, I was introduced to the wonderful Principal and staff, who showed me the way to class. It was nothing like school. The classroom was full of

bright, friendly children waiting in anticipation for class to start. The teacher was extremely patient, and would stop at any point in case we any questions to ask. It was in this learning atmosphere where I began to enjoy going to North Shore. And now, looking back, I realize it was because of one very important thing; it was challenging. There was no time when North Shore can be described as easy or boring. Every week I was learning something new, and my knowledge was being refined by the homework and other resources given to us. The teachers at North Shore made learning difficult concepts interesting with critical thinking problems, all the while engaging with the students. North Shore was even more important to me in Year 11 and Year 12, when I needed experience with lots of different questions and question types. I was provided with very well written booklets and other resources that really gave me an edge over others in tests and exams. The teachers were very supportive, and made sure to explain every concept clearly to the students. North Shore gave me educational support all the way from my first day, to the GATE exam preparation classes in Year 6 and finally to the WACE exams in Year 12. Not only has North Shore gifted me with academic ability, but also important life skills such as discipline, problem solving, time management, creative thinking and social skills. So now, I thank you, the amazing principals, teachers and staff of North Shore, for the countless hours of effort that you have put in for us students. I also thank my amazing parents for waking up early on Saturday mornings to drive me to and pick me up from North Shore, and providing support throughout my academic career. It was because of the assistance gifted to me by all of you involved in my learning journey that I was finally able to achieve an ATAR of 99.80 and receive a position in the Direct Pathway to Medicine at University of Western Australia. Congratulations to all the award winners, and I wish you well for your futures ahead.

Thank you

Jahin Anwar – 2020 ATAR (99.9)

Good evening guests, parents, staff and students.

My journey with North Shore began all the way back in 2013, when I was enrolled into my first ever class in Year 5 in Lynwood Campus. There, I was exposed to some of the hardest questions I had ever seen; Maths questions which legit seemed Year 12 level, English questions which seemed to be written by Shakespeare himself. But the worst was General Ability. General Ability. General, as in anyone could get them. So you should know how I felt when I was getting half of these questions wrong in the weekly homework

booklet, and the other half right only because of some good luck guessing of picking option C.

But as the years went by, my perspective on what North Shore meant changed. What I once thought of as torture, became insightful at times, even enjoyable. I learned from my general ability days that if pain is to hard work, then North Shore is to success. Being at North Shore, I have picked up a truckload of skills and knowledge, had the opportunity to be taught by some fantastic teachers and gained a whole group of friends. And that quote was enough to inspire me through the mess that is Year 12. North Shore gave me the chance to challenge myself and test the boundaries of my own skills and potential. With their efforts, my parents, teachers and my friends, I managed to receive an excellence award at the National Choosemaths Awards in 2018, win an ICAS Gold Medal in Mathematics just last year, be the DUX of my school, get a 99.90 ATAR and get accepted into Medicine at University of Western Australia with two prestigious scholarships. And yet, if you told the 12-year-old me who was struggling with general ability in Year 5 that I was going to do these things, I would have never believed you. To all those starting high school, if I could do this much with the help of North Shore, you can do it too. Work hard, make every opportunity count and always remain humble. Remember that the fruits of your labour, whether it be getting into a GATE school now or finally graduating high school at the end of Year 12, is not your efforts alone; but the combined efforts of your teachers, friends and parents. So remember to always thank them for the sacrifices they have put in for your success. With all that said, I would like to say what an honour it has been for me to address such an amazing group of children, and I would like to thank North Shore for organising such a remarkable event and all the support throughout the years. Congratulations, and I wish you all the best in the future.

Thank you.
