ZEKIE ZOOMS SCORES AMAZING 99.3 THE LODDON’S star VCE student Zekie Johns has conquered chronic illness and remote learning to score a stunning 99.3. The Inglewood teenager was among the outstanding East Loddon P12 College performers in examinations. Five students at the college achieved ATAR scores in the 90s. Zekie, who has been named dux of East Loddon for 2021, received four VCE subject scores in the 40s and a 39 in mathematics methods to rank among the state’s top students when results were announced last week.
While admitting to “being naturally motivated to do well”, Zekie says the learning opportunities and support from teachers and friends at East Loddon had been important during lockdowns and remote learning in VCE years and her battles with debilitating endometriosis. “The teachers were really good at keeping in contact and to talk with about work,” she said. Zekie has already received offers to study medicine and is hoping to be “close to home” at Monash University. READ MORE INSIDE
