Triumphs Abroad
Isabella Doyle concluded her final year of school with an unforgettable adventure and an impressive ATAR score of 99.65.
Alongside her fellow Fairholme alumnae—Mali Brennan, Holly Ford, Sienna Green, and Shenali Mikkelsen—the group landed in Frankfurt, Germany, just as the rest of Australia received their ATAR results.
Despite the initial jitters, Isabella found herself in a hostel room, eagerly opening her results. To her delight, her hard work had paid off, securing her the coveted 99.65 ATAR she had hoped for.
Reflecting on the moment, Isabella admitted, ‘I was quite nervous to open it, but I was excited to see that I received a 99.65 ATAR.’
Ecstatic about her achievement, Isabella immediately shared the celebratory news with her parents, adding a proud conclusion to her tartan journey amidst the adventure and camaraderie of her European vacation.
However, the true magnitude of her success only became apparent the following morning.
After a night of early retirement due to exhaustion from their journey and the emotional rollercoaster of receiving ATAR results, Isabella woke up to the realisation that she had not only attained her desired result but also earned the prestigious title of Dux of Fairholme College.
‘I've always looked up to the girls who have received Dux in the past,’ Isabella shared. ‘It felt good to know that my hard work had paid off.’
The title of Dux, reserved for the highest academic achiever in a school, was a testament to Isabella's unwavering dedication and perseverance throughout her high school journey.
As she prepares to embark on the next chapter of her academic journey, Isabella is gearing up to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
While the choice between mechanical or chemical engineering is still pending, her passion for the field and outstanding academic record have undoubtedly paved the way for a promising and successful future.
