A Stephnie Thomas Rhiannon Mathews Sophie Witherspoon Gabrielle Fox It was with great delight that the OGA presented two girls with the Hel- T en White Memorial Prize for Dux in 2014, given by the Branch. After all those assignments and tests it is amazing to think that two girls U – Gabrielle Fox and Stephanie Thomas – were not able to be separated for the ultimate accolade. As well, they and seven other girls were eligible for L the Fanny Hunt Memorial Prize. Six of the girls were able to be with us on Commem Day to accept A their prizes and Brigid Horneman-Wren and Tejal Kothari sent apologies from ACT and Cairns respectively. T As always the assembled guests were astonished to hear of the girls’ Kate Dowse ambitious plans. Gabby is studying to be a Doctor of Medicine at the I University of Queensland and hopes to complete an extended major in Biomedical Science. She would like to be a paediatrician, a surgeon or a O neurologist – or perhaps all three! Her fellow Dux Stephanie is studying a science and arts dual degree also at UQ where she is part of the Advanced N Study Program in Science and hopes to pursue a research career in Physics. Both girls also hope to continue their German studies, and study overseas. S Also hoping to progress to Doctor of Medicine are Rhiannon Mathews who is enrolled in the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Griffith Univer- f sity and Sophie Witherspoon who has commenced a pre-Med Bachelor of Brigid Horneman-Wren r Science degree through the Chancellor’s Scholars Program at the Univer- sity of Melbourne, doing majors in both chemistry and neuroscience and o a minor in philosophy of science and literature. Sophie hopes to become m a plastic reconstructive surgeon. Tejal Kothari is studying Dentistry at the James Cook University Campus in Cairns. Brigid Horneman-Wren received a National Merit Scholarship at the t Australian National University, having been accepted into the National h Scholars Program. She is currently studying a double degree of a Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts, with a major in International Rela- e tions and a minor in German Language and Culture. Brigid hopes for a student exchange and to one day work in international relations. Teagan Matthews Also studying Law, but a little closer to home, is Kate Dowse who has undertaken a Bachelor O of Justice and Law at QUT with the aim of majoring in Criminology and Policing. Rebekah Harkin is studying Arts-Law. By contrast, Teagan Matthews has chosen to undertake a Fine Arts degree at QUT, majoring in Film, Television and New Media. She hopes to have a career that spans several G continents and allows her to immerse herself in many cultures. We wish all the girls well and sincerely hope they fulfil their amazing ambitions.
