Regarded as a superstar right from her first interview with
First Foundation, this softly spoken high achiever is totally
committed to taking up a profession which will enable her to
support poor communities. Rosanne's own experience with very
difficult financial circumstances, but an extremely supportive
family, has cemented her desire to overcome such hurdles and work
towards success at a tertiary level and beyond. Strong
interpersonal skills and drive mean that in academia and in her
extracurricular activities she is an inspiration to her peers and
"her teachers' comments have always described Roseanne as an ideal
student," wrote her Yr 12 Dean.
Her reputation as an organised and efficient high achiever is
reflected in her NCEA Level 1 results. In 2010 she passed with an
Excellence endorsement. Her academic strengths have resulted in
prizes, too many to list. Among her 2011 awards are the Ted Jaggard
Cup for General Excellence in Yr 11 and the Principal's Awards for
Excellence in the Pompallier Shield Oratory."Roseanne has shown
excellence in her academic pursuits, has wide interests outside of
school and we feel she has all the personal attributes to be a huge
success when she enters university," stated Kevin Sanders,
Operations Manager, Gerard Roofs, in regards to their 2011
Scholar.
It is Roseanne's aim to study to become an engineer and to then
use her skills in aid work. She is particularly interested in
chemical or civil engineering and sees these as jobs which can help
developing communities.
