Year 10 student Preston Denning recently had the exciting opportunity to interview Australian Olympic icon Cathy Freeman as part of his ‘The Stories of Us’ Communicate and Relate specialism.

Throughout the interview, Preston and Cathy discussed the influence of family, the most important moment of her career and the message she hoped to send when carrying both the Australian and Aboriginal flags.

We commend Preston on the professionalism, initiative and preparation shown throughout this opportunity and thank Cathy for her time and support.
