Seven current and former Melbourne Grammar School students have received a Premier’s VCE Award for their exceptional performance in VCE Unit 3|4 studies in 2023.
Teddy Stewart (OM 2023) earned the distinction of Top All-Round VCE High Achiever, an award reserved for those who achieve study scores of 46 or higher (out of 50) in at least five VCE subjects. Out of around 58,000 students who completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in 2023, only 23 were honoured with this title.
A total of 300 Victorian students received Study Awards, based on their individual graded assessment scores in the respective subject.
Headmaster Philip Grutzner praised the students for their dedication and hard work. “These students deserve our admiration,” he said. “While talent plays a role in academic success, it is their commitment and perseverance that truly set them apart. Their achievements reflect the culture of excellence we nurture at Melbourne Grammar School.”
Mr Grutzner also noted the variety of subjects in which the students excelled, showcasing the diverse interests of the student body and the strong academic support across all disciplines at the School. “It’s gratifying to see success in such a wide range of areas,” he added.
He further highlighted the achievements of Albert Chen and William George, who both started their education at Melbourne Grammar School in Prep. “Their success demonstrates the solid educational foundation provided throughout their journey at our School,” Mr Grutzner said.
These awards underscore the dedication of Melbourne Grammar School students and the high-quality education they receive, setting them up for future success.
