AT just 17, Jessica Huy hasn’t even completed Year 12 - but she has already topped the state in a HSC subject.
Jessica, who studied at the Saturday School of Community Languages at Liverpool Girls High School, came first in Khmer Continuers after taking on the course a year earlier than the rest of her peers.
Having arrived in Australia from Cambodia just five years ago, Jessica, of St Johns Park, said she was “very surprised” with her result.
She is now able to read, write and speak her native Khmer fluently, which allows her to communicate better with her family.
Studying the language has also helped her learn more about Cambodian history and culture, she said.
