The sound of the school bell ringing for the final time is super exciting for some but just plain terrifying for others. Good Talk Great Mate podcaster Mackenzie Jones is currently in Year 12 at Wee Waa High School and like most of her mates one of the most common questions she gets asked is – what are you going to do after school? (It’s like it’s on repeat a bit – don’t you think?!)
But, what Mackenzie would really LOVE to know are the secrets to surviving, and thriving, in Year 12.
So, late last year, Mackenzie asked three cool country chicks who were a couple of years ahead of her at school and, who she really looks up to, to join her at the 2Max FM studios, on Kamilaroi Country, for a special two-part episode.
2021 Wee Waa High graduates Alisha Conomos, Bryony Allen and Amelia Kiem absolutely blitzed the HSC despite facing some BIG challenges …and we mean BIG.
In today’s ep., Mackenzie gets the girls to spill the beans on how one of them came 5th in the state in Primary Industries – a favourite subject for us farm lovers – another claimed an ATAR of 86.8 and together …they bagged some band sixes and band fives! While still having fun, playing sport AND importantly, staying sane!
They’ve got some awesome tip for surviving and thriving in Year 12, so sit back and relax , your mental break starts now….
