Anthony was recently awarded for achieving the highest GPA in the first half of his degree. He's now forging ahead with a dissertation on the legislative changes around 'salinity of soils' and aims to complete his qualification later this year.

"For a full-time worker and family man, flex studies via distance education is a wonderful avenue," he says.
