James Luu achieved an extraordinary academic milestone, earning a prestigious QCAA Certificate of Academic Commendation.
Reflecting on his success, James credits the support of his teachers and mentors, starting with Mrs Parbery, who identified his talent in mathematics early on. “She set me on a path that allowed me to complete Mathematical Methods two years earlier than expected,” said James. He also highlighted the guidance of Mrs Franklin, Mr Lynch, and Mr Burnett, who shaped his approach to learning. Beyond academics, James embraced opportunities to broaden his horizons through co-curricular programs such as the school’s Symphonic Band and the da Vinci Decathlon team. “These co-curricular experiences helped me make connections with other students and taught us to collaborate as a team.” Looking ahead, James plans to pursue further studies at the University of Queensland, attributing his readiness for this next chapter to the supportive and enriching environment at Grammar.
