Thamadee Dela is the the 2022 College Dux for St Peter’s College after achieving an ATAR of 97.9.
Ms Dela achieved outstanding results in Biology (44), Chemistry (40), English (38), Legal Studies (37) and Mathematical Methods (35), along with a perfect score in Further Maths (50).
Ms Dela has her sights set on an engineering degree at Monash University next year and is interested in chemical engineering in particular.
She put this exceptional result down to two main factors.
At the start of the year, she set herself a specific goal and this was important to keep herself focused and motivated.
Even though by term four she felt tired and struggled to maintain the earlier levels of commitment, the excellent work that she had put in during terms one to three had set a solid base for her to launch into the exam period.
The second factor that Ms Dela cites as helping her to achieve this result was the feedback from teachers.
She was appreciative of all her teachers but stated clearly, she could not have got the perfect result in Further Maths if it had not been for Ms Selex.
The very specific advice when looking at questions that she had got wrong, the use of a logbook for practice exams and the fact that Ms Selex had made herself so available to Ms Dela made all the difference.
St Peter’s College congratulates Ms Dela and wishes her all the best as she moves into this next exciting part of her journey.
