Courtney works hard at Biology, Chemistry, English, Statistics,
Religious Studies and Hospitality to achieve her dream of studying
Veterinary Science at Massey University. She has first-hand
experience of the benefits of a strong bond between humans and
animals and has volunteered both for the SPCA and Horses for
Healing - a charity that offers therapeutic horse-riding.
At school Courtney was Deputy House Captain and Whanau room
leader.
"She is a strong-willed character and does not give up easily. She
has the ability to formulate plans and see them through to
completion. This has assisted her when she takes on leadership
roles," said Pompallier Catholic College Principal Richard
Stanton.
