Interview with Charles Liang

Hosted by Simon Tesvic

ST: So Charles, what has been your favourite subject this year and why?

CL: Personally, I have found Science as one of my favourite subjects this year. Whilst I didn’t particularly enjoy Science in my Junior School, Science at Cranbrook has been a wonderful subject. I find Science quite interesting and fun because every Science lesson at Cranbrook is an immersive experience where I can learn a lot of new things about Science. The experiments are also quite interesting and are all quite appealing. 

ST: Who has been a great teacher so far and why do you like them?

CL: Personally, I have found that my English teacher Mr Sinclair has been a great teacher so far. Mr Sinclair is an encouraging teacher who will always tell us to try our best in everything we do. He is also an excellent teacher who is very patient when explaining things to us. He has helped guide us through many different English activities, and thanks to Mr Sinclair, I can definitely affirm that my English has improved greatly since the start of Yr 7.

ST: How was your summer sport, and what sport are you doing for winter?

CL: For my summer sport, I chose to do sailing, where I was put in the Open Seconds. Sailing has always been one of my greatest passions, and I really enjoy just being out there on the water and enjoying the tranquility of a beautiful day at Woollahra Sailing Club. For my winter sport, I am also sailing, but instead of sailing Optis and Pacers, I am developing my skills in sailing a boat known as the 420 skiff. I am also aiming to develop my general racing skills, and I am looking forward to another wonderful season of sport!

ST: What’s been the best thing about Wakehurst so far?

CL: Personally, I find that the best part of Wakehurst would definitely be the sense of community. Everyone at Wakehurst, whether it be the teachers or the students, are all extremely nice and caring towards each other. As a Year 7 who has just started at Cranbrook, Wakehurst has been an incredibly inclusive and welcoming house to me, where I have developed relationships with many different people in the house from different year groups.

ST: Do you do any clubs/co-curriculars

CL: Currently, I am doing a lot of clubs and co-curricular activities. These activities include Model UN, F1 in Schools, Dance, Da Vinci Decathlon, Drama and Choir. These various co-curricular activities and clubs have all developed my knowledge in a lot of different ways. I am looking forward to continuing these amazing and unique clubs that are offered at Cranbrook.
