Lucia Rega
Distinguished Academic
Congratulations to Class of 2020 graduate, Lucia Rega,
who was one of 37 students throughout the state
to receive a Distinguished Academic Achiever award
from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment
Authority. This award is for students who demonstrate
exceptionally high achievement across a diverse range
of learning options.
Caitlin, we will be cheering
for you!
Congratulations to AHSister Caitlin Cronin (Class
of 2012) on her selection in the 2021 Australian
Olympics Rowing team. Caitlin will compete as a vital
member of the Women’s Quadruple Scull. Caitlin,
we are so proud of all you have achieved, and our
best wishes for a safe and successful Games go with
you to Tokyo.
Lucia is currently studying Bachelors of Engineering
(Honours)/Science at The University of Queensland.
We asked Lucia about her award, her plans and what
her time at All Hallows’ meant to her:
I absolutely loved my All Hallows’ education, and I
made the most of all the opportunities it offered.
I participated in sport, culture, and Mercy Action
programs, all of which were extremely fulfilling. It was
through the culture program that I developed my love
for music, which has become a lifelong hobby of mine.
My favourite subject was definitely Specialist
Mathematics. Although it was by far the most
challenging, it tested my patience and resilience and
ultimately led me to develop a deep appreciation for
logic and problem solving.
I was ecstatic to discover that I had received a
2020 QCE Distinguished Academic Achiever Award.
However, this would not have been possible without
the incredible learning support I received from All
Hallows’, and I truly am indebted to them.
Funds from this event will go towards the Past Pupils’
contribution to the Potter Project painting.
My goal is to become a mechatronic engineer as I
would love to make a positive contribution to society
through revolutionary technology.
We wish Lucia all the best for her studies and future
career.
