Four former and current students of Braybrook College and Williamstown High School received 2023 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) awards on July 17.
The awards recognised the outstanding achievements of students completing the VCE.
Braybrook College alumni Ryan Pham received an award for his exceptional laboratory skills, and current year 12 student Matilda Crosbie was honoured for her achievements in psychology.
Ryan, now studying for a science degree at the University of Melbourne, said his key to achieving the award was consistent studying and “doing a little bit every day.”
Matilda said she and her best friend motivate each other to study.
“I feel satisfied that my hard work last year has paid off,” she said.
Braybrook College assistant principal Arlene Bailey said the school’s staff and students were proud of Ryan and Matilda.
Williamstown High School alumni Ruby Norman was recognised for her achievements in literature, while Alyssa Cunanan was honoured for her accomplishments in creative and digital media.
Alyssa, whose works were displayed for Top Designs in March, said her former teacher supported her and the school has “all the resources despite being a public school.”
Williamstown High School Pasco campus principal Daniel Pearce said, “They are thoroughly deserving winners of a premier’s award for their hard work and commitment to their studies.”
“I’m sure Ruby and Alyssa’s success will inspire other students to achieve great results in the coming years.”
