Student Profile

Year Level: 9

Favourite Subject: Math

Christian Tringali is in Year 9 Student at Simonds Catholic College

I was a little worried about the first day of Year 7 because I hardly knew anybody — there was no need, as I made friends immediately. I was also impressed with the teachers’ care and friendliness. Being a small school, there is a great sense of camaraderie, numerous opportunities to really be recognised for your efforts, and the teachers are always available and approachable.

I love maths and PE because the subjects are interesting and challenging. Being a small school, there are plenty of chances for me to represent the school. I can play all types of sports including basketball, and I really enjoy competing against other schools in the ACC competition.

It is so easy to get to Simonds because we are right in the city and there is public transport from everywhere. I catch the tram every day, but others catch the train and some even ride their bikes or get dropped off.

Simonds is a really good school.
