Salesian College Sunbury students have been recognised alongside the state’s best performing VCE students in the Premier’s VCE Awards.

Member for Sunbury Josh Bull today congratulated Michelle Grover and Madeline Hendy on their outstanding achievement.

• Michelle Grover was recognised with an award in Agricultural and Horticultural Studies.
• Madeline Hendy was recognised with an award in Australian Politics and Legal Studies.

A total of 297 Victorian students received 323 awards across 90 subjects, including 297 Study Awards, 23 Top All-Round VCE High Achiever Awards and three Top International Student Awards.

The Top All-Round VCE High Achiever awards recognise those students who achieved study scores of 46 or higher out of 50 in at least five VCE subjects, while Study Awards recognise the best performers in individual VCE subjects.

The Andrews Labor Government is delivering on its promise to build the Education State so every Victorian student can get a great education.

The Labor Government’s $60.2 million investment Student Excellence Program is equipping schools with the resources, tools and professional learning opportunities needed to support high-ability students.

Every government school now has a high-ability practice leader to coordinate their school’s participation in these programs and to support their high-ability students.
