25.01.2022 MOUNT ISA STUDENT ALREADY SET FOR UNI Today marks the third day of final exams for grade 12 students, but the stress is already off for 17-year-old Harmony ...McGlinchey. Harmony has been training with TAFE during her final year, and has been accepted into James Cook University for an early offer program in nursing. She said this year had been a turbulent one. "Like my mum said, we are currently living history. In 10 years time, we're going to be talking about the pandemic and I'm going to say: yeah, it was tough," Ms McGlinchey said.
