Rose Byrne landed her first ever Golden Globe award on Sunday night.
And the NSW Department of Education paid tribute to the Australian actress on Tuesday by sharing a throwback photo of her time attending local Sydney schools.
In the image, which was shared on Facebook, the 46-year-old is a fresh-faced young pupil and looks to be in her tweens or early teens.
‘A huge congrats to Balmain Public School, Hunters Hill High School and Bradfield Senior College alumna Rose Byrne for her Golden Globe win!’ the caption read.
There was plenty of support for the beloved homegrown star in the comments below the image.
‘Rose Byrne was a success long before the Globes. Globes just finally caught up with what the rest of Australia knew for ages. Huge accolades with Aussie pride!’ commented one fan.

Another said: ‘What a wonderful example of an incredible talented beautiful woman who is a product of NSW public education.’
One more wrote: ‘Have watched her for years from Heartbreak High to Two Hands. I remember reading years ago that a photographer named her the most photogenic Australian actress of all time. Congratulations Rose Byrne.’
Rose scored a major career win on Monday after taking home a Golden Globe for her role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
The Bridesmaids star was visibly shocked by the win and admitted she hadn’t prepared a speech as she took to the stage to accept her statue at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
‘Thanks to my husband Bobby. He isn’t here because we’re getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey,’ she said.
She then thanked the producers of the movie – while joking about its relatively modest budget.
‘I didn’t prepare anything, but – I didn’t sing in this movie, guys. Thank you so much my fellow nominees, I just can’t believe I’m here,’ Rose said.
‘Thank you so much, and thank you to A24 and to our brilliant producers, to Josh Safdie, Eli Bush, Ronnie Bronstein, Sarah Murphy, Ryan – everyone at A24 – thank you so much.

‘Thank you for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. We shot this movie in 25 days for like $8.50!
‘This is like a tiny film, so this is a huge thing to be up here. And my brother’s my date! Thanks, George. Thanks to my mum and dad who bought Paramount Plus so they could watch the Golden Globes from Sydney.’
Rose beat out some strong competition for the award, including Cynthia Erivo for Wicked For Good and Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue.
The actress and Bobby Cannavale have been together since 2012 and according to Marie Claire, are not married ‘legally’ but always refer to each other in public as ‘husband and wife’.
They welcomed their first child, a son, Rocco, in 2016. Their second son, Rafa, was born in 2017.
