Anna is captain of the school's "A" netball team, and has coached and umpired junior netball at the school for the past two years.
She has coached a junior netball team as part of Duke of Edinburgh award requirements.
"I had to think about the drills and ways of making them work for the [year 9 and 10 pupils].
"I have learned with coaching we have to relate it back to the game and finding ways of making the kids confident on court so they know they are improving."
Anna credits a three-week Outward Bound leadership course she attended last year with helping her develop the ability to better consider the needs of other team members.
"It was awesome, and has definitely helped with sport because you look at other people's perspectives more with captaincy or coaching."
Anna has completed Trinity College Speech and Drama to grade 7, and was to sit grade 8 exams in August.
"I really enjoy the theory - piece of prose, poem, speech and drama, articulation and modulation and different speech patterns used."
Anna was musical director and participant in the school's Stage Challenge entry this year.
