She has represented Kent and her home club in friendly golf matches; she plays rounders, netball, football and hockey for the school and recently won a gold medal in discus throwing. Outside of sport Rosie was headgirl in 2008/9 and was chosen because of her ability to make everyone feel included and recognised everyone had special strengths and different traits. She has been an active member of eco councils and helped design a local playground for the community. Whilst in this role she had the opportunity of take her ideas to the House of Commons on 2 occasions. Second best is not an option for Rosie; she continuously works to her best ability; is always questioning her performance and looking at ways to improve it. She has won citizenship and Mark Petchy awards. A visit to the Olympic site in April 2011 has encouraged Rosie to aspire to her career goal of becoming a female engineer.

Rosie is a great leader, peer mentor and ambassador for the community; she strives to helping everyone reach their potential.i won a Jack Petchy award, not mark petchy. everything else is correct.
