Katie Jayne O'Brien
Former school captain and boarding school captain of Trinity Catholic College Boarding School in Goulburn, Katie Jayne O’Brien of Braidwood, had far more on her mind in 2008 than the HSC.She was juggling her studies, a captain’s responsibilities, helping promote the Red Cross Blood Service in Goulburn, hosting World Youth Day pilgrims from France and helping organise bush dances, the Braidwood Show and a children's Christmas party.
Katie was one of the first successful applicants for Australian Catholic University’s (ACU) Early Achievers’ Program (EAP).
Not only did Katie receive an early offer to study education at the Canberra Campus, but she was also awarded a Canberra-Goulburn Catholic Education Office scholarship.
“The EAP is a fantastic opportunity to let young people show what they are about,” Katie said. “It takes the pressure off the HSC.”
