I have been attending Holy Spirit College for the past three years. HSC has given me many opportunities to better myself in Sports, Academic and Leadership roles. HSC offers subjects that range from Science to Language; one of my favourites is Chemistry. The friendly and supportive environment of Holy Spirit College allows all students, including myself, to strive for and achieve the best results that we possibly can.
Rebecca Kemp - 2005 - 2009
I loved my secondary schooling at Holy Spirit College. The friendliness and support that the staff of Holy Spirit College gave me was overwhelming. Holy Spirit College allowed me to succeed in gaining an OP score and also provided me with sporting opportunities in attending the World School Games in Doha, Qatar in December 2009. I would recommend Holy Spirit College to any student who wants to strive to excel, both academically and in sports in a caring environment.
