Valedictorian of the high school graduation exam Phung Nhat Khanh Tran to study Finance at Monash University, Australia

Monash University, ranked 42nd globally (according to QS World University Rankings), Top 2 in Australia; Queensland University, ranked 42nd globally, Top 6 in Australia; University of Western Australia, ranked 76th globally, Top 8 in Australia; RMIT University (Melbourne), Top 10 in Australia; RMIT University Vietnam.

Olympian Phung Nhat Khanh Tran, through her dedicated study and disciplined spirit, has successfully gained admission to these five prestigious universities. Desiring to step out of her comfort zone and challenge herself in a new environment, she has chosen to attend Monash University to pursue Finance, a field in which the university is ranked among the best in Australia.

"My father inspired me to pursue Finance. He has taught me many things and helped me understand that any company, large or small, cannot do without financial management, controlling cash flows, and providing the best advice for proper financial allocation. In the future, I want to become a Chief Financial Officer and excel in making investment decisions and controlling cash flow," the Olympian shared.

Khanh Tran's dream has been nurtured and developed at Olympia through various activities and exciting academic projects. In subjects like Mathematics, Economics, and Law, she has solved many real-world business problems to make more rational choices. Taking on the role of Head of Logistics in the Grade 12 Executive Committee and planning budgets and allocating spending for events have also helped the Olympian understand and prepare for her future field of work.

Besides activities directly related to her future field of study, during her three years at Olympia, Khanh Tran has also experienced many other special programs that helped her develop practical skills and step out of her comfort zone. With this motivation, she consistently earned the title of "Outstanding Olympia Student," excelled in English, Economics, and Law, was an outstanding delegate in OLMUN 2021-2022, achieved a GPA of 9.2, an IELTS score of 7.0, and became the school's valedictorian with a total score of 53.4.

For Khanh Tran, Olympia is more than just a place to gain knowledge; it is like a home. "It's where I can express myself without fear of judgment; where students and teachers can confide in each other like close friends; where my friends and I receive excellent mental and physical health care, experiencing things I never thought possible in high school. I thank Olympia and all the teachers for giving me three fulfilling and joyful years of high school. Olympia will always be unforgettable, and I will always be ready to return whenever the school needs me," shared Phung Nhat Khanh Tran.
