"The understanding nature of Queenwood’s staff, and their will and ability to encourage you to do your absolute best is something for which I will forever be grateful."
Tilly represented Australia at the 2020 Tokyo and 2024 Paris Olympic Games in water polo.
Trying to manage a high-level sport while going into the final years of school is a near impossible task, but the extent that Queenwood helped me to achieve every aspect of what I wanted to do, to the best of my ability, is still hard for me to comprehend.
Water polo is a demanding sport that requires a lot of time out of your everyday life. Going into the Olympics year aware of how much school I had to miss for the sport was daunting, but along the track – purely thanks to Queenwood and the support of its staff – I completed Year 11 and 12 with ease.
The understanding nature of Queenwood’s staff, and their will and ability to encourage you to do your absolute best is something for which I will forever be grateful.
