“Though the bus travel from home to school has been a very long daily round trip, I used the time to study and affirm my goals.

“I don’t want to use my academic knowledge to ‘chase the money’, I see lasting value in helping to find advances for ourselves and our wider world in seeking to solve problems,” Jordan said.

Along with his mates and family, Jordan celebrated his belated 18th Birthday on Saturday 7 January at the family property.

“My 18th was actually in the middle of the exams so we decided to delay any celebration till the new year,” he said.

Jordan plans to continue his studies this year via a Bachelor of Sciences and Advanced studies in Mathematics at Sydney University, and will be relocating to Sydney in early February.

Jordan’s Mum, Neridah Falconer-Blockey, told News Of The Area, “Jordan is quite humble regarding his achievements, though we feel he is well prepared for the next phase of his educational and professional journeys.”
