Hi David,
I know what it is like when your kids excel like that. You gotta be one proud Dad. Congratulations.

That is only the start. Stephanie will progress to great heights. I know she will. My son is a high acheiver he has an Hons in psychology, and is an officer in the US army as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot. Posted to Germany in charge of 5 Blackhawks worth $43million each.

So Dave, it is now up to you to nurture your daughter's talent. Expose her to various life paths so she makes an informed decision.

To Stephanie,
Well done. Now milk all you can from your Dad. You deserve it. You have given him bragging rights and he should do something for you.
Not that he hasn't already but now you can push him for that bit extra.
I want an answer from Stephanie to ensure she gets this message.

To you both:
It always makes me feel good to hear of anything like this good news.
I have felt it many times in the past. I know there is much more for the H0ugh Family to come. This is only the beginning.

Cheers

Wow, oh my goodness, how proud you and your wife must be of her!!!
I see your daughter is obviously very intelligent, but I also think It must have lots to do with you and your wife's guidance as good parents. Much praise to you both, and congratulations to your daughter.

Again Well done.
I'm glad to see you read the posts.

Never let it rest,
Until your good is better and

ATAR 88.75%. UTS just rang and offered him a spot in Software Engineering so he's in for sure now.

Excellent news indeed. Another couple of years and he can pay my bills

All the kids seem to have done particularly well this year. 2011 broke a few school records in many places. One of his mates got 99.25%

Well as to proud dads (David and Marc), I thought I'd get on the band wagon, my eldest daughter passed her BS(Arch) this year and is going on to do her Masters.
