Nothing can let your light go out
Sydney might be drenched in what feels like an ocean’s worth of rain, but there is one thing no storm can wash away: our ambition and self-belief.
August’s In The Know is here to fuel your fire with The Ambition Edition – a ode to chasing dreams, setting bold goals, and pushing past every barrier in your way.

Inside these pages you can find:
- Special guest writer Simon Roptell shares his career journey – from going into jobs that he was not passionate in to following his passions that shaped who he is today. His first-hand recount will inspire you to trust your path and back yourself.
- THRIVE intern Jolin reminds us that you do not have to be Einstein to excel. With a growth mindset (the belief that your skills, intelligence and talents can develop over time) you can learn, grow and thrive.
- A continuation of the Photography Club’s stunning work from the Art Festival. Their lens captures the beauty, emotion and ambition of our campus community, definitely worth a look!
In a world full of opinions and expectations, it is easy to lose sight of what you truly want. This edition is your reminder to block out the noise, focus on your vision, and go after it with everything you have got.
