Sunway AUSMAT students are UNDENIABLY Top in Malaysia and the WORLD!

At the recent AUSMAT Achievement & Appreciation Awards, Sunway AUSMAT students celebrated their remarkable achievements in last year’s WACE examinations.

This Certificate of Distinction is awarded to students who are in the top 0.5 per cent of candidates in a WACE subject in the 2013 WACE exam worldwide.

Four students, Lee Wen Hui, Bryan Poh Chen Shen, Preeya Kaur Dhaliwal and Gerald Tan Chen Jie who achieved above ATAR 99 and above were presented with the Achievement Award for WACE Top 1%, while their course-mates who achieved ATAR 95 and above received the Achievement Award for WACE Top 5%. 60% of AUSMAT students achieved ATAR 80 and above with 99% qualifying for university education worldwide.


The event also paid tribute to the AUSMAT Student Council who have proven that they are not only good academically but in their time management as well as they have been active in organising and running events, being student ambassadors and academic mentors to their peers. Gavin who intends to pursue further studies at National University of Singapore, in his speech encouraged new students to join the council, “Take the opportunity to do great things and make great friends along the way.”

Citing that it takes a lot of hard work and determination for the AUSMAT programme as he juggled studying and extra-curricular activities, he said “One thing AUSMAT will teach you – you are capable of doing so much more!”

Sean Low Shan An, a Student Council member and academic mentor for the Business Management & Enterprise subject, in his speech for the sharing session said, “It is not about knowing everything or being the top scorer in exams, it is about the willingness to share with others what you know and it is also an opportunity for you to learn more.”
