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.

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.
