Bella Hart has been named dux of Cobram Secondary College.
Bella received an impressive ATAR score of 91.65 and is naturally pleased with her results.
“It’s crazy, it’s surreal,” she said.
“I wasn’t expecting it.”
Bella studied English, General Maths, Psychology, Physical Education, Biology and Health Human Development, the last of which was fast-tracked from 2022.
Her favourite was Physical Education, saying she enjoyed learning about the human body as well as getting out in the sun.
As such, Bella plans to study physiotherapy at La Trobe University in 2025.
However, before then, like many graduates, she has some big plans.
“I’m taking a gap year to work and travel, hopefully in Europe and South East Asia,” she said.
Though Year 12 has many great moments, Bella said she especially enjoyed hanging out with her fellow Year 12s and was grateful to her teachers and parents for their support and guidance.
As for her advice to younger students, Bella said to simply do your best. And remember - you aren’t alone.
“Try your hardest and give everything a go. There is a lot of support out there,” she said.
CSC principal Kimberley Tempest said that the school staff were proud of Bella’s results and that they were well-deserved.
“We are thrilled with Bella’s results,” Ms Tempest said.
“They are richly deserved. She has worked very hard all year and she now has the opportunity to follow her dreams.”
