Recently the Western Australian Certificate of Education exam results were announced. I would like to congratulate a course exhibition winner from Warwick Senior High School, Adam Hemsley, for getting the highest raw score in a subject in Western Australia, in accounting and finance. There were also certificates of distinction for the top 0.5 per cent of students in each subject: at Kingsway Christian College, Jonathan Baek, in applied information technology; at Warwick Senior High School, Adam Hemsley, in accounting and finance; and at Woodvale Senior High School, Jelena Durmic, in English. It was a great result for Cowan across the exams. There were 74 certificates of excellence, and I pay tribute to the great results in that regard of Ballajura Community College, with 23; Greenwood Senior High School, two; Kingsway Christian College, three; Mercy College, two; St Stephen’s School, Carramar, eight; Wanneroo Senior High School, three; Warwick Senior High School, five; and Woodvale Senior High School, 18.
The secondary schools of the electorate of Cowan have done very well. The students have done very well. So I take this opportunity to congratulate the students for their excellent hard work over many years to achieve these great results. I congratulate the teachers for guiding them along the way, the parents, the community and the schools for the great job that they do for all our young people in Australia.
