Unforgettable experience in Government House


It is my last blog and it finally came to an end. For the past few weeks, I have been working on different posters design for the Global Good Foundation 5th Birthday event. Tanya assigned me to work on a one-page brochure for all the programs that are ran by GGF. This will be a challenge, as I have to get the point across in one or two sentences, and use graphics to explain the situation.

The reason for writing this blog to the very last minute is because I would like to share an overall unforgettable experience to you.

I was given a chance to perform in the government house in front of 300 or more audiences as well as the governor. It was incredibly amazing and I would never forget this performance.

Why I have the chance to perform in the Government house?
I went to work as usual and I was chatting with Tanya, CEO of Global Good Foundation, in regards to my good news on the singing competition I enrolled and got into Grand Final, after that, she asked if I am interested to perform in the government house on 7th October, which is the “Butterfly Effect” Event. I was shocked as well as excited as I did not know that I would have this chance to sing in front of the governor and perform in the government house.

Time flies, on the day on performance, I nervously arrived at the government’s house and prepared for the performance of my song – The Climb by Miley Cyrus. I was so nervous that I kept memorizing the lyrics. At the end, I did it! I got a lot of feedbacks from the audience as well as the governor! She was giving a speech and she said “Wylie you sang really well!” I was so surprised that she can remember my name. This was a fun-raising event that helps The Global Good Foundation to raise fund as well as awareness. Finally, Mrs McCusker have donated $20,000 to The Global Good kids Camp.




On top of that, I also prepared for the Global Good Foundation’s 5th Birthday with my other colleagues. Many tasks have been given to me, and that includes sending out the guest lists, preparation for the catering, as well as ordering of beverages.

It was a great experience on learning how to plan an event and learning on the major concerns when holding an event. I do not only learn how to be organized, I also realized the importance of responsibility. During these days of my internship, it made me a better person for my future and I will never ever forget this journey.

Congratulations Wylie!

What a privilege getting to perform at government house, and at an event you helped organise too!

You sound like you had an amazing time and learnt so much.

My placement was in government as well, while it wasn't for me I am interested in your thoughts, is it an area you would like to enter in to?

Planning an event that raised so much money for children's charities as well as showcasing local talent is a great achievement and something you should be very proud of. I hope you have gained a lot of skills that you can apply to more great events in the future!

Regards,
Lucy Morrison

Hi Wylie,

I must say your title is very intriguing! You have been given an amazing opportunity to combine the two things you love - PR and Singing. That must be a great feeling, whilst also helping out a good cause.

If I think back to my public relations principles my tutor told me that public relations has all kinds of perks and rewards. I would have to say that this is definitely one of them!

Congratulations on the performance and good luck with everything - you are very inspiring.

Regards,

Georgia
