__Mortlake College Reflections__ I have lots of amazing memories - after all, I spent most of my life in Mortlake.I really enjoyed going to a small school. I felt well supported by all my teachers and peers.

__Advice for Current Studen​ts__ For me the biggest tip is to do what you love; what you are passionate about and what makes you happy. At school I always thought the be all and end all was to 'go to Uni'. However, now I see myself as a good example of having alternate learning directions when leaving school and still getting where I wanted to go. Absolutely anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
