Premier Jacinta Allan has celebrated a number of the state’s best students as this year’s Premier’s VCE Awards recipients.
This year’s awards were the first to feature the Outstanding VCE Vocational Major Student Award – following the Labor Government’s introduction of the dedicated vocational program within the certificate in 2023.
Winners included an aspiring young pilot from Gippsland who is now doing an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering apprenticeship at QANTAS and a talented pianist who has since commenced tertiary studies at the Victorian College of the Arts, pursuing her career dream of becoming a music teacher and professional performer.
A total of 310 students received 332 awards across 93 subjects, including 300 Study Awards, 23 Top All-Round VCE High Achiever Awards, six Outstanding VCE Vocational Major Students and three Top International Student Awards.
Premier Jacinta Allan said the winners exemplified how students can achieve great things with the support from their teachers, school communities, families and friends.
“Today’s recipients demonstrated commitment and hard work throughout their final year at school – congratulations to each and every one of them,” she said.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said all recipients deserved high praise.
“It’s exciting to see such a diverse, talented group of young Victorians, particularly the outstanding achievers in the VCE Vocational Major, who are being recognised at this prestigious event for the very first time,” he said.
