Doors open for high achievers

Scots PGC College's Kristina Somerset (Aspley), Hadley Dearden (Swan Creek), Cassandra Burtenshaw (Allora), Rylie Douglas (Warwick), Jasmine Whitton (Hughendon), Joseph McCormack (Killarney), Joe Fulwood (Thallon), Amelia Cowley (Allora) celebrate their OP scores.

YEAR 12 students at SCOTS PGC College celebrated their OP scores last month with Rylie Douglas and Cassandra Burtenshaw both receiving a 2.
Amelia Cowley and Joseph McCormack were not far behind, receiving 3s, while Jasmine Whitten received a 4.
Ms Whitten thanked her “amazing” teachers for their help over the past two years.
“Today I received an OP 4 meaning that I will also be able to accept a $6000 scholarship for next year at UNE which required higher than an ATAR 86,” she wrote in an email.
“This is a better result than I ever expected!”
The nervous wait to secure entry into university came to an end for some Southern Downs students last week, with first round offers announced.
