Members were keen to give their feedback to help make a very good presentation even better. For example adding a slide showing Europe superimposed on the map of WA, with maybe Germany separately superimposed on Victoria! And maybe use the Roger Federer selfie with a quokka to replace the cute quokka picture Connor had selected.
Another suggestion was to mention WA’s contribution to the national economy through the mining industry, and also have a list of some of the projects that help Applecross Rotary be well known for its community support, plus some photos from the Rotary Jacaranda Festival.
The final word (or footnote) on Connor comes from his mum who posted this message on Facebook Wednesday afternoon:
That moment when your eldest child is going to have bragging rights over you for the rest of your life, since he aced his ATAR, achieving 96.55, and certain to be accepted into Physiotherapy. Succeeding, where his mum failed! (But hey, OT was more my thing anyway!)
All jokes aside, exceptionally proud of Connor Ovens - he studied efficiently (even with his phone by his side), didn't stress too much and didn't require any pushing from any of his parents (still credit his start at Steiner and Deb Williams for fostering his love of learning and intrinsic motivation for school studies).
You're just going to have to excuse my proud Mum brag today - back to normal programming tomorrow, where I'll be complaining about the mess as usual....
Less than one month before he leaves for a whole year too!
