Premier’s VCE Award 2023

Premier’s VCE Award 2023

Each year the Victorian Department of Education and Training recognises excellence in learning achievement demonstrated by students undertaking the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).

The 2023 Premier’s VCE Awards were presented on Wednesday 17 July at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. ​​Awards were presented to over 300 students based on their outstanding 2023 VCE study scores.

Premier’s VCE Awards recognise students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in the Victorian Certificate of Education. Over the years, a substantial number of GVGS students have achieved this outstanding distinction. This year we are delighted to announce that Erin Hicks (Class of 2023) has received a 2023 Premier’s VCE Award for her study of History Revolutions, which was taught by Mrs Laura Smithers-Shaw.

Erin was the SRC Prefect in 2023 and participated in many co-curricular activities at the School, taking the opportunities presented and making the very most of them. I am sure Erin can take confidence from this recognition regarding 2023 and beyond. Erin’s achievements will be inspirational for students and staff alike.

This exceptional achievement reflects both Erin’s commitment and discipline but also the School’s culture of learning and personal growth. It also reflects the outstanding quality of teaching provided by our staff. On behalf of the school community, I congratulate Erin’s teacher Mrs Laura Smithers-Shaw for her hard work, encouragement and commitment to learning that inspires our students.
