Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says Heyfield student Dustin Haines has a bright future ahead of him after being named Sale College’s top performing student for 2015.
Mr Chester was among hundreds of attendees at the annual Sale College Presentation Ceremony at Sale Memorial Hall on Monday, which celebrated the achievements of the college’s students throughout the school year.
Dustin obtained an ATAR score of 96.2 and has accepted a place in RMIT University’s Batchelor of Software Engineering.
Mr Chester, himself a former Sale College Dux, said Dustin had shown maturity beyond his years.
“Dustin has not just obtained an outstanding ATAR score, he has done it while balancing employment and interests in music,” Mr Chester said.
“His work ethic and intellect is a credit to him and the entire teaching staff at Sale College, who should be proud of everything he has achieved this year.”
Dustin was also named the WR & EL Jones Best All-rounder student.
Sale College Director Craig Felstead said the school was proud of all of its students’ achievements in 2015.
“Sale College is fortunate to have exceptional students well-supported by a dedicated cohort of teachers who want to see our young people succeed in life,” Mr Felstead said.
“Dustin worked hard for his final ATAR score and he can look forward to a bright future ahead in his chosen pathway of computer and software technology.”
