For Singleton High School's high achiever Zoe Tudor the next stage in her education journey is studying biotechnology at the University of Newcastle.
"I have developed an interest in genetics and bio-medial devices during my final years of study at high school and am now keen to further that interest through a degree in biotechnology," she said.

Asked about the option to study medicine she said that was not for her as she was much too squeamish.
Zoe attained an ATAR of 98.25 and she was also on the HSC 2021 Distinguished Achievers list for Chemistry, Maths Advanced, Maths Extension.
Zoe also was on the HSC 2020 Distinguished Achievers List for Biology as part of Singleton High School's Accelerated Biology Program.
From Branxton Zoe attended the local public school then headed to Singleton for her high school years.
A keen horse rider that pursuit has been put on hold due in part of COVID-19 competition cancellations and school work.
Like many 2021 HSC students the lockdown and having to studying in isolation was a real challenge to Zoe. But receiving early entry to university and the opportunity to apply for ATAR based scholarships has provided a much needed morale boost.
Another Singleton High student Caroline Mexom ( year 11 2021) has also been part of the Accelerated Biology program and is also on the HSC Distinguished achievers list for 2021 for Biology.

From cattle to coal. Once a specialist agriculture writer today its about community, in particular, the Upper Hunter. I have lived and worked in the region for more than 30 years. Land use issues and the future direction of our region. But you cannot take ag out of the picture - our food and how we grow it is the basis of all life. Covering the Hunter and Mid North Coast rural issues is now part of my role with ACM.
