Stella Cozamanis among top 40 students for 2023 SACE results

·

40 young South Australians have received an ‘Excellence Award’ for their results in the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) this year. One of the recipients is an Australian student with Greek heritage – Stella Cozamanis.

SACE graduate, Stella, has also been declared as an official recipient of the ‘Governor of South Australia Commendation 2023.’

According to Adelaide Now, “gifted artist” Stella took on the role of Boarding House Photographer at her school Navigator College, creating dozens of films, photo boards, news articles, and related media. Stella also worked with staff to develop professional skills in video editing.

After researching her family history, Stella discovered a rich tapestry of her Greek and Aboriginal origins, with ancestral links to England, Greece and the Ngarrindjeri from the Coorong and lower Murray River.

Stella is now looking to work overseas, perhaps in Greece and an African wildlife refuge.

More than 15,560 students completed their SACE in 2023, which represents a seven per cent increase on last year’s results. 95 per cent of all South Australians aged between 16 and 18 were estimated to have studied at least one SACE subject.
