Psychology, adventure, and growth

Yibin Kim, one of St Margaret's College's most recent graduates, is travelling abroad to start university, with a plan to study psychology in either the United States or Australia.

Yibin is excited to begin a new chapter, meeting new people, exploring new cultures, and figuring out life beyond St Margaret's. “It feels bittersweet finishing school,” she admits. “I’m ready for what’s next, but it’s strange to think about leaving behind something that’s been such a big part of my life.” 

Yibin hopes to build a career in psychology or neuroscience, but more than anything, she wants to become someone others can look up to and trust. Looking back, she says St Margaret’s has given her a strong foundation, both in and out of the classroom. “St Margaret’s helped me grow in so many ways. The rigour of the International Baccalaureate programme definitely prepared me for university, but it also taught me how to balance everything and connect with people.”
