Cortney was nourished by the great school systems at Pinelands High and the dedication of teachers who were always available and supportive. They handed her the tools to navigate tertiary education and life in general. They taught her to be bold enough to use her voice and strong enough to live the life that she envisioned for herself.

First Class Honours 2021
Pinelands High School has students and staff with many different backgrounds and identities, making it a diverse and inclusive environment. The diversity prepared me for navigating the real world. It taught me how to be conscious of people’s disadvantages and privileges, as well as how to work with people who have very different mindsets to mine.
