TENISON Woods College students Jesse and Chloe Venn took home impressive Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) scores on Tuesday morning and the Millicent identical twins are now busily planning their futures.
Topping sister Chloe (87.68) by a short margin, Jesse (91.85) is happy that Year 12 is over.
“Year 12 was not too bad at the beginning but I think most of us were nervous,” Jesse said.
“But as the year wrapped up it was hectic and there was a lot of work I needed to get done with not enough time.
“I was not too organised and I think I could have put in more effort.”
Jess completed six subjects throughout Year 12 instead of the standard five.
“I had three exams which was difficult,” Jesse said.
“The year was not as bad as what people make it out to be.
“If you do most of your work throughout the year you can get through.”
A highlight for Jesse was receiving the TWC Year 12 subject award for Physical Education.
Jesse will complete a gap year sports training traineeship at the Millicent Basketball Stadium and will then go to university in 2020.
“I have not pinned it down yet on what I will do after my gap year,” she said.
“On my university application I had my first preference as a double degree in human movement/secondary teaching and my second choice as business/commerce.”
Chloe found the workload the hardest thing of Year 12.
“There was an increase in work from year 11 to year 12,” Chloe said.
“The work was not necessarily harder but we would have more assignments to do that were due all at the same time.
“You had to use your organisation skills and prioritise what is necessary.”
Chloe would suggest to anyone entering Year 12 to complete their Research Project in Year 11.
“I wish I did it, it would have made things easier,” she said.
Chloe will be complete a gap year traineeship with the Millicent Kimberly-Clark mill in administration.
She then plans to attend university in 2020 to pursue a bachelor degree in accounting.
The pair felt some pressure to live up to older sister Keely’s ATAR of 97.2 from 2017, as well as matching one another’s results.
