With a serious learning attitude and remarkable perseverance, Vu Thanh Vinh (Class 12S1) has made a strong mark during his journey at Hanoi Adelaide School with outstanding academic achievements, becoming one of the most representative students of this year’s Vietnam–Australia Dual Diploma Program.
Outstanding achievements of Thanh Vinh:
- ATAR 94.85 – ranked in the Top 5% among more than 17,000 SACE graduates in Australia and worldwide in 2025.
- A+ (Merit) and Highest Achievement in Mathematical Methods in Vietnam.
- Overall Grade A in English, Research Project, Business Innovation, and Economics.
His excellent academic profile has earned him multiple prestigious scholarships from leading Australian universities:
- Macquarie University – Bachelor of Actuarial Studies: ASEAN Scholarship worth AUD 10,000 per year. In addition, Thanh Vinh is among the very few students awarded the highest International Student Scholarship of AUD 10,000, personally granted by the Vice-Chancellor.

- The University of Adelaide – Bachelor of Computer Science: 25% tuition scholarship.
- University of Technology Sydney (UTS) – Bachelor of Computer Science: 30% tuition scholarship.
Beyond academic excellence, Thanh Vinh is also a student who is always willing to share knowledge and spread positive academic values. He is currently a tutor for Khan Academy’s open classroom project “Building English Skills – Conquering the SAT,” where he directly supports B1–B2 level students in strengthening grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and SAT test-taking strategies.
Notably, Thanh Vinh is the only SACE student outside Australia to be invited to attend the Merit Award Ceremony at the residence of the Governor of South Australia this coming February.
Thanh Vinh’s outstanding achievements continue to affirm the quality of the Vietnam–Australia Dual Diploma Program (SACE) at Hanoi Adelaide School – where students learn in an international-standard environment, are continuously assessed based on real competencies, and gradually build strong academic foundations to be fully prepared for global university pathways. The program offers key advantages:
- Graduation with two high school diplomas (Vietnam & South Australia)
- An internationally recognized ATAR score, expanding scholarship opportunities and admission to top universities in Australia and worldwide
- Strong training in academic thinking and essential competencies of global citizens
Congratulations to Vu Thanh Vinh – an exemplary HASian with intelligence, discipline, and a generous spirit of sharing. The school firmly believes that the solid foundation he has built today will continue to carry him far on his future academic and professional journey.
