Winners of the 2019 Premier’s Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Awards have been announced online, with the ceremony postponed due to physical distancing restrictions.
The Department of Education and Training said 307 of Victoria’s best performing VCE students had been recognised with the Premier’s Awards.
“While the Premier’s VCE Awards announcement looked a little different this year — with award recipients being announced online — the achievements of VCE students from 2019 are well worth celebrating,” the Department said.
“Last year’s top performing VCE students received the awards in recognition of their outstanding academic performance last year, with 28 students achieving Top All-Round VCE High Achiever awards,” it said.
The Department said High Achiever Awards had gone to students who achieved study scores of 46 or higher (out of 50) in at least five VCE subjects.
“Congratulations to each of those students, as well as their families, teachers and school communities for their exceptional achievements,” it said.
“The 2019 awards list also included 276 Study Awards, which recognised the best performers across 95 individual VCE subjects. Students achieved a study score of 46 or above to be eligible for a Study Award.”
The Department said top international students were also recognised, with three awards announced for students studying in Victoria on a student visa.
