When Your ATAR Doesn't Match Who You Are: Emily Rovere on Learning How You Learn

If your child opened results that did not reflect who they are, this helps. Feeling lost does not mean they are off track. It is for parents and students after a hard result. What happens when the result staring back at you does not reflect who you know you are? Emily Rovere is an osteopath, business owner and mentor who opened her results feeling confused and deflated, then slowly realised the number was not the full story. A hard-working high achiever who did not yet know how she learned best, she carried pressure as the one who had to succeed. Missing the score she hoped for forced her to problem-solve, adapt and find a path that suited her. For parents, it is reassurance that struggle is not failure and detours can lead to clarity. One exam never defines the whole story. What you'll discover: • When your child's ATAR doesn't reflect who they are • The importance of learning how you learn • Why asking for help is hard, and why it matters • How resilience is built through discomfort • Why progress matters more than perfection • Reassurance that a detour can lead to clarity Because one moment, one exam, or one score never defines the whole story. More Than a Score: Redefining Success Beyond School is hosted by Laura Pitt and Dan Steele, a former teacher and award-winning school leader on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
