Melissa Brugioni came to St Mary's as a reception in 1989 and graduated in 2001. At St Mary's she learnt skills for everyday life and learnt about social justice. She uses those skills today as she is heavily involved in different community groups.

Throughout her schooling, Melissa was anxious about being successful. St Mary's prepared her to be able to stand up and have a voice and now she can challenge different life decisions made in the workplace. "Don't take all your life lessons literally", she quoted.

The silliest thing Melissa ever did was, on muck up day the year 12's made a year 12 banner out of all the late slips and uniforms slips they received. "As a year 12, we got lots of these".
Overall, St Mary's made her a better well rounded person, teaching her important things that can be done outside of her own little world.

DON'T TAKE ALL YOUR LIFE LESSONS LITERALLY

Old Scholar Years at St Mary's College: 1995 - 2001

I look back at my life at St Mary's, as a time where I learnt that who and what I was, was celebrated by many people.
The skills I learnt in school sometimes come back to me today when I'm not really expecting it, particularly in words that I come across.
With hindsight, St Mary's College contributed a lot with my self-awareness, self-esteem and my confidence.

I look back at my life at St Mary's, as a time where I learnt that who and what I was, was celebrated by many people. I always strived to be myself and this has helped me become a strong and independent woman. The skills I learnt in school sometimes come back to me today when I'm not really expecting it, particularly in words that I come across. Some of my greatest achievements were winning the ethos award, and also getting awarded as dux in year 12. I didn't aim to achieve these awards, but it was very honouring when they were presented to me in front of my parents and classmates. With hindsight, St Mary's College contributed a lot with my self-awareness, self-esteem and my confidence. I am very proud to say that I'm extremely happy with the person I have become and the person I'll continue to be.
