IB student Laura Zhang has achieved an ATAR equivalent of 99.95 and has received an acceptance to Oxford University to study Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She has also received interviews for Princeton University, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania.
While at school, Laura was Debating, Public Speaking and Voice Captain and a Cadet. She was one of few Australians selected for the Yale Young Global Scholars Program and participated in the United States Pioneer Academics Research Program, for which her research was nominated for publication.
‘I am grateful to Ravenswood for having offered the IB and giving me so many opportunities to explore my passions such as its fantastic debating program, as well as the opportunity to work to target food waste in the local community,’ she said.
Laura won the Best Speaker Award at the national Space Design Competition, reached the State Finals of the Evatt Trophy Competition, was the joint winner of the Senior Bic Art Award and won the 2020 Gail Kelly Making a Difference Leadership Award, through which she introduced a food recycling program to Ravenswood.
