Miriam Palazzi

Miriam Palazzi, an ambitious 18-year-old from Merewether High in Newcastle, has recently enrolled in a combined arts and law degree at The University of Sydney. She has expressed her concerns about the predominance of private school students at the university, noting that her public school background has made her experience different from many of her peers. Palazzi highlights the need for universities to recognize the challenges faced by students from public schools, particularly in terms of academic performance and opportunities.
