Faith Lutheran College student Emily Doering grew up on her family’s mixed farm at Truro and said it gave her a bit of extra help in gaining her merit in Agricultural and Horticultural Science. She was thrilled with the result. “It meant all my hard work had paid off,” she said.
Emily has applied to study Bachelor of Agricultural Science at the University of Adelaide and University of New England, Armidale, NSW, and is waiting for offers to be released.
If she decides on Adelaide, she may be a classmate of fellow merit-recipients Rebekah Starick and Jana Dixon, who also plan to study agriculture there. Rebekah, from Punthari, via Mannum, attended Unity College and gained merits in Agricultural and Horticultural Management and her research project. Jana, a prefect at Clare High School, was awarded a merit in Agricultural and Horticultural Studies, as was Eastern Fleurieu School student Alyssa Rodgers.
