Emma received her scholarship for a BA (Western Civilisation)/LLB and Olivia for a BA(Western Civilisation)/Master of Teaching degrees.  The academically rigourous program has an emphasis on the great works of Western civilisation with complex readings from the classical world right through to the postmodern era. The lucrative scholarship not only covers tuition fees but gives the students a paid semester in Rome in their second year. They also given opportunities to listen to international scholars, attend cultural events and the theatre. 
 
There were 30 Ramsey Scholars this year and it is a great achievement for our College to have two scholars as the scholarships are highly competitive. What impressed the Ramsey Institute and ACU was not only Emma and Olivia's academic successes but also their contribution to the College community. The panel were impressed with the intellectual complexities of both candidates Extension major works, Emma in History Extension and Olivia in English Extension. 
Emma and Olivia received their Scholarship certificates from former Prime Minister, Hon. John Howard who is the Chair of the Ramsey Institute. He was very generous with his time and spoke to the girls and myself at length and was familiar with our College.

We wish Emma and Olivia the very best and encourage them to take all the opportunities this scholarship presents.
