Absolutely amazing 4 year experience. I love everything about my school. From the teachers, sporting activities, and lasting friendships I have been able to make. Lowndes High school has taught me how to persevere through tough times as well as allowed me to understand the value of hard work and what it truly means to chase after your dreams and aspirations.
