'My time at Kilburn Park will stay with me forever. It was a unique schooling experience where everyone was like a big family. I was supported in different areas of my life, and from this I found a love for sport and I always credit my accomplishments to Kilburn Park and the dedication of the teachers and TAs. Kilburn Park has given me friends for life and that’s special!'
