Halliday recently completed studies at the College in CAPE Biology, Spanish and English Literature.

Halliday is particularly and mostly passionate about writing.

This is among many awards that Halliday has received in the last few years. She was an active member of the SALCC Theatre group which staged the very successful production “God of Earth” as part of the College’s activities for the 2020 Nobel Laureate Festival. She was also a member of the SALCC Peer Counsellors, the most active group on the campus that organized a variety of activities for students that dealt with their personal wellness.

The College wishes Halliday well in her future endeavours.
