SCHOLARSHIP ACHIEVEMENT Dux of School 2016, Zidan Nguyen was awarded a Principal’s Scholarship for the University of Adelaide. Students are nominated by the principal of the school where they studied Year 12. It is based on outstanding academic merit and a significant contribution to their school and wider community. “Zidan was a very bright and highly committed student, and we wish him all the best with his tertiary studies,” said Claire Flenley. The scholarships provide an allowance of $5,000 to assist with education and living costs for the first year of the student’s study at the University of Adelaide. “Receiving the award took a massive weight off of my chest as I was able to worry less about the financial costs of university and also have some fun during the holidays,” said Zidan. “I felt like all the hard work in 2016 really paid off and was extremely grateful to have been nominated by the school.” “I am now studying Advanced Mathematical Sciences at Adelaide University which I am enjoying but I might look into other options.” “It’s very hard deciding what you want to do for the rest of your life, especially at such a young age. I know things will fall into place at some stage!” said Zidan.
