Gabby Sylvester - Alumni
Gabrielle Sylvester attended Norwest from 2009 to 2016. She found that teachers investment into her life has played a big part in who she has become today. 鈥淲ithout the teachers investment and passion I wouldn鈥檛 have wanted to be a teacher.鈥� Gabrielle found that the person that impacted her life most significantly at Norwest was Mrs Cox, 鈥淏efore attending Mrs Cox鈥檚 English class I hated reading books and writing any assignment or story. She kept persisting and investing in who I was and my interests. She had such a passion for books and writing I couldn鈥檛 help but develop a love for reading and writing.鈥�
Since graduating from the College, Gabrielle has completed a Bachelor of Arts with majors in creative writing and journalism (2017 鈥� 2020) and started studying a Masters of Teaching Secondary English. She has also written and published a children鈥檚 book, My Secret Superhero Parents (2021). Gabrielle married her husband in 2018 and is currently a full time student, author and stay at home mum to her son. She is looking forward to completing her Masters and hopes to have more books published in the future.
Gabrielle鈥檚 advice for current students is to 鈥渁lways ask for help if you need it. Lean on your support people when you are struggling they will always be there for you.鈥�
