Subscriber only Seventeen-year-old Gympie student Abigail McAllister has described feeling overwhelmed with excitement and relief after securing the region s highest ATAR score for 2020. The Victory College student opened her results at 7.30am on Saturday morning, read the rank of 99.7 and said she immediately started crying. I worked so hard this year and it was such a relief to actually hit that goal, Miss McAllister said. My dad was on the couch behind me and mum was still in bed so I went and woke her up. Dad came and hugged me, but mum was still kind of half asleep but said you did it? and she went straight to putting it on Facebook because she was so happy for me.
