WEDDERBURN College dux Olivia Lockhart wants to take her interest in health and nutrition onto university study.
Olivia earned the college’s top academic award, by a slim margin from younger twin sister Aliza.
The girls had been joint college captains this year and also played in the champion Wedderburn Redbacks netball side.
Olivia, the elder by eight minutes, said: “We certainly tried to help each other.
“We did all the same subjects - further mathematics, hospitality, physical education - but Aliza did not do food studies,” Olivia said.
“I’m honoured to be the dux. Sometimes Olivia wins, sometimes I do and this time I edged ahead.”
Olivia said she had found VCE at times stressful but “you make the most of every opportunity and always try hard in tough times, even when you didn’t feel like studying”.
And while likely to be in Melbourne next year, she hopes to return to Wedderburn when possible to play for the Wedderburn Redbacks.
Aliza hopes to study primary teaching at La Trobe University Bendigo.
