As part of the Future Anything unit for PBL, every Year 9 student had the opportunity to enter National Finals and compete for the chance to win $10,000 worth of prizes to help kickstart their social enterprise.
Out of the 40 students selected to go through to the National Semi-Finals, from over 200 applicants, Kildare College had 2 students shortlisted, Lerisa and Joslyn. Kildare is one of two Colleges in South Australia that made it to the National Semi-Finals for Future Anything in 2021.
Lerisa and Joslyn blew the judges and audiences away with their pitches; Lerisa scored herself the People's Choice Award and will hopefully be selected as a wildcard to go through to the National Grand Final. Joslyn is through to the National Grand Final as she won her semi-finals round; she also took home the People's Choice Award.
Stay tuned for information on how to livestream the National Finals and a huge congratulations to both Lerisa and Joslyn - Nothing is impossible for a Kildare girl!
