Syrian twins Maya and Sarah Ghassali came to Australia as migrants before high school, speaking little English. Today Maya achieved a 93.30 ATAR and Sarah a 97.3. 🙌 Follow our live updates on today's VCE results:
Before checking his VCE results this morning, Marcellin College school leaver Max Poletti was pessimistic.When he checked his ATAR, he found that his 70.000 was not enough to get him into the course he was hoping for - the Bachelor of Design at Melbourne University.“It’s not like I didn’t see it coming,” he said.“A good mark and getting into the course doesn’t mean everything, when the passion is there, you make it,” she said.
Last time we spoke to her, Hannah said her dream was to study law at Monash University. That dream is now one step closer. And she’ll be busy today: she’s on her way to celebrate with teachers and fellow students at school, before a photo with the local newspaper later.Some Age readers have shared their results day experiences."I was working in local hardware store over holiday season, but raced to post office to pick up the mail at 9:00 am, ripping open the letter, but also ripping certificate in half. I still have certificate held together with cellotape," he writes.
