Archana achieved consistently excellent academic results and was commended by staff for obtaining the highest campus mark in a difficult theoretical course.

She was also considered a role model, inspiring many others with her hard work and dedication, especially those students from her home country India. 

Despite her significant achievements, Archana modestly attributes her success to the support she gained from teaching staff and her husband in particular. 

Her goals now include completing her CPA qualifications as well as commencing her career as an accountant in Australia.

Amit, from Punjab in India, was admired for his organisational skills and demonstrated ability as a team leader.  

His previous work experience in telecommunications was a great asset and enabled him to offer fellow students invaluable insights regarding the realities of work in this industry sector.  

Amit's discipline and conscientious approach were also an inspiration, motivating other students with his example. 

Staff confirm he has the talent to succeed in management roles and his aim now is to secure a role with a multinational ICT company in Melbourne.
