Amid their academic studies, snowsports and school productions, our students continue to pursue their passions and embrace the exciting opportunities available at Snowy Mountains Grammar School. 

So far this year, our aviation program has seen two students achieve a significant milestone—completing their first solo flight before even obtaining their P plates! Congratulations to Morgan in Year 11 and Jack in Year 10 on this outstanding achievement. 

Reflecting on his solo flight, Jack shared the following: 

My First Solo Flight 

Recently, I had the incredible experience of completing my first solo flight, a milestone that every aspiring pilot looks forward to with excitement and nerves. I started my flying earlier this year, at age 15, with Alpine Aviation Australia, operating out of Jindabyne Airfield. It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m grateful to my instructors Kirk Amos and Martin Hughes for their guidance. 

Flying solo is a unique thrill and this achievement has reinforced my dream of flying commercial aircraft one day. I look forward to further progressing and obtaining my Pilot Certificate! 

At Snowy Mountains Grammar School, we are proud to support the aspirations of our students as they continue to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively!
