As students across the country start their Uni studies this week, a dream is coming true for our 2020 College Captain Gemma Harry. Gemma is off to Melbourne to study paramedicine at Australian Catholic University.
Gemma has always been interested in helping people and has cherished the dream of becoming a paramedic for more than 3 years. She worked hard at school studying English, Maths, Health, Biology and Psychology in Year 12, and was beyond excitement when she was offered an early entry to ACU.
鈥業t鈥檚 very nerve-wracking, but I鈥檓 very excited鈥�, says Gemma.
Gemma is fascinated by how rewarding paramedicine is, 鈥楨stablishing great connections and knowing that you have saved many lives make all the challenges of the profession well worth it鈥�.
鈥業鈥檓 looking forward to doing lights and sirens鈥� admits Gemma. 鈥業 watch 鈥楶aramedics鈥� TV series all the time and I love it. People think I鈥檓 obsessed when I talk about it!鈥�
Gemma is following in the medical footsteps of her older sister (Alexandra Harry, Class of 2010) who works as a psychiatric nurse in Melbourne.
We wish Gemma all the best for her studies. We are certain that she will make a wonderful paramedic.
