Top International Students
The order of merit for international students studying in Victoria on a student visa is based on their Premier’s VCE Awards score. This score is calculated by the addition of the study scores obtained for the best four VCE studies plus 10 per cent of study scores obtained in up to a maximum of two other VCE studies. University subjects and VET studies may contribute to the score. Full fee-paying overseas students are not eligible to receive an award in the Top All-Round VCE High Achiever or Study Award categories.
Award recipients
Ba Huy Nguyen, Footscray City College
Zixuan Wang, Mentone Grammar School
Xinyi Wu, Balwyn High School
Study Awards
The number of awards in each study is calculated using the enrolment base in that study. There will be more awards in larger studies. Individual Graded Assessment scores are used to determine the order of merit and identify the best students. Students must have a study score of 46 or above to be eligible for an award.
A total of 296 awards are to be presented.
