Turning now to Olivia Juka, from Loyola College who was thrilled with her result.
A huge smile broke out on her face when she saw her ATAR: 92.65.
She’d be able to secure a spot in a Bachelor of Arts at Monash University majoring in ancient history and archaeology, specialising in Ancient Egypt and Rome.
She scored 47 for Textiles, 40 for sociology, 39 for Theatre, 36 for history, 33 for Literature and 36 for Mathematics.

She said she’d keep the celebrations low-key before a volunteer placement at a museum later in the day.
“The effort paid off, which is the main thing,” Olivia said.
“I’ll get to do what I love.”
The teen is excited to travel throughout university and do field work overseas as part of her course.
Juka kept very busy through the year, taking part in school musicals and organising events as a house captain.
“I feel like the community at school is great, so it always makes the year fun and go by easier,” she said.
