“My name is Olivia and I live on the Sunshine Coast. I’m in grade six at Nambour Christian College and my fave subjects are Maths, English and Science. I also play the trumpet and am in the school primary band and two Brass Ensembles. Last year I entered the 2014 Origin littleBIGidea competition and my entry was a Solar Powered Lawn Mower. I came up with the idea because my Dad was always complaining about mowing the lawn, so I designed a lawn mower that could mow the lawns without him having to do it. I came up with the design from the robotic vacuums and started drawing sketches. I added solar panels on the top which are charged by sunlight, and four wheels which have a 360 degrees rotation,…

How long have you been acting? “I’ve been acting for about five years now. I started taking classes when I was 10 but I actually got into acting through pageants.
