Sennett Lau

Founder,
Communities of Care

Sennett is a calm, cheerful and caring person who aspires to work in the field of medicine to further her interest in biology and natural science. In her spare time, she loves spending time with her family, pets and friends. She also likes to play sports such as tennis and read multi-genre books. 

For Sennett, one of her biggest life lessons is to cherish every moment because nothing lasts forever. When she was 10, her parents told her that life is too short and that everyone around you will come and go because people change overtime. Prior to her current school, she spent nine years at another school and when she left, rather than appreciating what she has had, she focused on what she could have had. Looking back after a year, she reflected and realized she did in fact have a strong support structure. Going forward, she will indeed cherish her “now” as she takes steps into her future.     

At school, she stays grounded and motivated while undertaking an interdisciplinary approach to developing her life skills, and she feels she can always do more to engage with the real world.

Academically, she has persevered through her studies and achieved excellent GCSE results in Y11. She scored A*s and As in the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Religious Studies, Chinese, English Lit, Mathematics, English Language, History. From an extracurricular perspective, she is in one of the teams representing her school in the Wharton Investment Competition, engages in public speaking and debate through Lamda, plays tennis and volunteers for animal rights groups such as Sai Kung Stray Friends. Sennett also prioritizes the mental health and well-being of her friends, and is always ready to lend an ear or a shoulder for those who need her. The best medicines in life are often represented through camaraderie and rapport. 

Looking ahead, she believes in the importance of ongoing professional and personal growth anchored in interests and passions. Sennett would like to pursue a career in the healthcare and medicine industry, strive to deliver personal bests and achieve any goals she sets her mind to for creating positive impact to her community.
