Kayla Perumal is the dux of Aitken College achieving an ATAR of 94.5.

Kayla was one of the college’s captains and said she was proud of her ability to find a balance between study and other commitments.

“I was able to balance my study with everything I wanted to enjoy like hanging out with friends,“ she said.

“I didn’t want to burn out so every morning I went to the gym, even during the exams.”

While Kayla said she didn’t get into her top preference of Commerce / Law, she was happy to have achieved a score which will allow her to study commerce.

“I will know that no matter what I did, I tried,“ she said.

“I wanted to make myself and my family proud.“

Kayla said she encourages future year 12s to be committed to their studies but also find balance.

“Be committed and choose subjects you enjoy- I enjoyed all the subjects I did,“ she said.
