Ellie Olsen-Vetland

South Otago High School
National Leader 2026-2027

Hi! My name is Ellie, I am a very outdoorsy and extroverted individual, ready to give every opportunity given to me with 100% effort. You can always find me studying at the library, swim training at the local pool or getting stuck into extra hobbies that I love around town. I always live by my own motto of "The effort you put into academics, sports and social life now is what sets you up for a successful career/life". I am always making sure to stay consistent to this motto and treat everyone with the same treatment I wish to have no matter what and I'm always excited to get on board with ideas that either others or I can create. The one thing I would say I enjoy most, is seeing the ideas I have created come to life. I have always wanted to be someone that people can rely on and lean on for inspiration, and I can safely say that with the effort I have put into my everyday life and SADD, I can eventually make that a reality!
