Lara Truong showcases her family pride after scoring well in German and a 95.95 ATAR, making her Bellarine Secondary College’s dux.
Lara achieved study scores of 37 in English, 38 in Indonesian, 36 in legal studies, 38 in business management, and 37 in history, released on December 12.
Lara’s mum is from Switzerland and said she was proud to receive her best study score in German, where she got a 44 score.
“I was hoping it would be high, and I put a lot of effort into making it so, but I was still very happy when I looked at my results,” she said.
“I chose only the subjects that I wanted to do, some of which were against the advice of my career counsellors, but it’s worked out in my favour.”
Lara said she was looking to study arts and law at Melbourne University next year, with the school offering her a scholarship to continue her studies.
“I’d like to go straight into study in the coming year, but I am planning to travel over this summer, so I’ll get a bit of the best of both worlds,” she said.
“It’s hard to say what career I’d like to pursue, but broadly within the international relations or international law area, I’d love to work for governments or private enterprises one day.”
