\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Swan Hill Academy alumni graduated from Year 12 and completed a school based carpentry apprenticeship in 2016. During the year he was awarded the Caltex Best All Rounder Award which recognised his excellence in academic, leadership, sporting and community service activities.\n\nHe thoroughly enjoyed the trade industry at the time and couldn\u2019t see himself doing anything else, though he longed to undertake university studies with the hopes of becoming a pilot.\n\n\u201cI didn\u2019t think I would have got a good enough score to chase my dream of being a pilot,\u201d Zac said shortly after he completed school.\n\nDespite his doubts, Zac soon received exciting news that he had been accepted into university. Two years on, Zac has completed his second year of a Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) at RMIT in Melbourne, has secured an internship at Qantas and is employed casually at his local Bunnings caf\u00e9 where he serves coffee to the store\u2019s patrons. Needless to say, Zac is loving every bit of it.\n\n\u201cI absolutely love the feeling of flying,\u201d Zac said. \u201cI have met some great people along the way who have been very supportive and encouraging, especially the teams I work with at Qantas and Bunnings.\u201d\nWhile most university students are returning home for the festive season, Zac is staying in Melbourne to work with the Qantas engineering team and to take on additional shifts at Bunnings, much to the admiration of his colleagues.\n\n\u201cZac has a great attitude and a real willingness to learn and become better,\u201d said Paul Wyborn, Zac\u2019s flight mentor at RMIT. \u201cHe is always organised and up-to date with his uni work and flying.\u201d\n\n\u201cZac is a terrific addition to our team and has a very bright future,\u201d said Richard Bar, Zac\u2019s Team Leader at Bunnings. \u201cI am glad we can support him in his journey to becoming a pilot.\u201d\n\nZac has shown anything is possible if you have the right attitude, are eager to learn and commit to never selling yourself short.\n\nWell done Zac and thank you to our partners Qantas and Bunnings (Wesfarmers) for providing these opportunities!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
