Cameron said it was a Defence Civilian Undergraduate Scholarship, but it was definitely more than one person that got the results.
“I’m doing Aeronautical Engineering and I don’t have to join the services afterwards,” he said.
“Obviously I needed to do lots of study and hard work. I just have to say, all the teachers and staff at O’Connor is what gets you there. the support that they provide and go out of their way to help you is you have any questions or concerns.
“I just tried as best I could and I put in as much effort as generally put in for school, and that’s the result I got. I don’t know how much harder it is for anyone else, but that’s just how it went for me.”
