A Syrian refugee has scored an incredible 96.65 on his final Year 12 exams and become the dux of his Melbourne school, despite only learning English two years ago. Saad Al-Kassab, 18, and his brother Omar managed to flee the war-torn country in 2014 and travel to Melbourne after the pair were captured and tortured for protesting for peace at a rally. The brothers learnt English within two years by watching 'Question Time' from Federal Parliament and studying an English-Arabic dictionary.
