It’s been a big year for Tingoora’s Amy Harch.
The former Kingaroy State High School Year 12 student topped the school in physics and received an Excellence in Physics award from the Australian Institute of Physics.
And according to her former physics teacher Mr Craig Reiger, she was one of the high-achieving physics students in the Wide Bay district.
“She was a wonderful student … very industrious,” he said. “She always did her work and was a role model for up and coming students.”
Three other KSHS students also received Australian Institute of Physics awards: Claire Mason, Tyler Kersnovski and Ashleigh Trace.
Amy is hoping to do either medicine or physiotherapy at the University of Queensland next year, but she won’t know if she’s been successful until later this month when the university offers are released.
And just like every other student in Queensland, she’s on tenterhooks about her Year 12 results.
Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said today Year 12 final results for all Queensland students would be posted on Friday.
Nearly 48,000 Senior Education Profiles would start arriving in letter boxes across the State from next Monday.
However students will be able to preview their results online from 9:00am on Saturday by logging into the QSA’s Student Connect website with their Learner Unique Identifier and password.
Mr Langbroek said more than 724 graduates had achieved the much sought-after Overall Position (OP) of 1. More than 21,000 have achieved an OP of between 1 and 15.
However, he said, it was important to keep in mind that Year 12 results are never “the be-all and end-all”.
“There is always more than one road to a destination and there are plenty of options available to school leavers if their results don’t turn out to be what they’re hoping for,” Mr Langbroek said.
