Jack Davey, who will be one of the school captains in 2022, fast-tracked further maths and finished up with a score of 48. It is a result he is “very happy” with.
"I’ve loved maths since I was very little. My mum would get me into it when I was in kinder,“ he said.
Jack is aiming to study chemistry, physics, maths methods and English in Year 12.
“Just the four (subjects), but I’m hoping to do well,” he said.
His aim is to follow in his sister’s footsteps and become a paramedic.
“It seems like an interesting job. It’s not so much entertaining because people get hurt, but it’s something different,” he said.
Jack said lockdowns had been difficult.
“I was pretty bad last year, but this year I didn’t think it was that bad, I was sort of used to it,” he said.
“I struggled a little bit but for the most part I was okay.”
His classmate Harry Tennant finished with a score of 41 from engineering.
Harry said he had forgotten results were being released last Thursday and he hadn’t been overly confident, but seeing the score come through “certainly changed that”.
"I forgot about it,“ he said, laughing.
“I rang my dad but after that it was all good and sort of settled back down and I was pretty thrilled.”
He wants to follow in his dad’s footsteps, aiming to study hydrolic engineering to help his father’s irrigation shop.
“I’d like to sort of go along the lines of that and maybe bring that back into the business,” Harry said.
He said lockdowns had been tough.
“It was a different experience for all of us and it was cool to see us adapt and get amongst it and do as well as we did,” he said.
