SA student Lilianna Pourgiezis scores perfect 99.95 ATAR

·

With nearly 16,000 students completing their South Australian Certificate of Excellence (SACE) qualification this year, 11 managed to receive a perfect 99.95 ATAR result.

Among the 11 high achievers was Wilderness School graduate Lilianna Pourgiezis. The 17-year-old told The Advertiser that Year 12 was “the hardest year of my life but also the best year.”

“It’s stressful because it’s the first time it matters… your whole future kind of rides on it,” she said, while adding that a balanced life was the key to her success.

“Don’t get caught in the weird understanding that it’s just study, study, study.”

Lilianna said she hopes to study medicine at The University of Adelaide as both of her parents studied it there. Ever since she dissected a heart in Year 10 Biology, she has had her own heart set on a career in medicine.

“It would be nice to keep it in the family,” she said.

Lilianna received the Governor of South Australia Commendations for Excellence in SACE award on Monday, December 16.
