Darren Chester commended Grace Ng for winning bronze at the International Science Olympiad praising her as an outstanding role model
Grace Ng's 2024 Olympiad journey ended with a memorable presentation by Federal Member Darren Chester, who gave her an autographed photo from Governor-General David Hurley at Gippsland Grammar's 100th-year assembly.
The 2024 Olympiad campaign for Grace Ng came to a delightful end this week, highlighted by a special presentation from Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester to the talented Gippsland Grammar student. "Grace won a bronze medal in Kazakhstan at the International Science Olympiad, but before she left, we caught up at Parliament House, where we bumped into Governor-General David Hurley," Mr Chester said.

Honoured olympiad memory
Mr Chester said, "Mr Hurley has always been very generous to me from his days in the Australian Defence Force, and he took great delight in meeting Grace and talking about her selection for the Olympiad team. We took a quick photo, and the Governor-General got on with his busy schedule, which I thought was the end of the experience, but on his last day in office, Mr Hurley personally autographed the photograph."
"I had the chance to present the framed photograph to Grace this week as the combined campuses of Gippsland Grammar students gathered for the 100th-year commemorative assembly. Grace is an outstanding role model to other students, and I wish her every success in the future," he said.
