Premier’s VCE Awards 2023 to incorporate outstanding VCE Vocational Major Student Awards
Principals/directors and VCE Vocational Major coordinators and teachers
The annual Premier’s VCE Awards celebrate outstanding student achievements. For the first time, the 2024 ceremony will include the first group of VCE Vocational Major students completing the certificate in 2023.
The VCE Vocational Major (VM), a vocational and applied learning program within the VCE, was introduced in 2023. Next year will be the first time vocational and applied learning students will be acknowledged at the Premier’s VCE Awards, following the introduction of the VCE Vocational Major within the VCE this year.
The inclusion will ensure Victoria continues to recognise the accomplishments of exceptional vocational and applied learning students, as it has previously done through the VCAL Achievement Awards, which were held for the final time in May 2023.
During 2024, school leaders will be invited to help develop the new approach to awards across Victoria as we move to the fully integrated VCE and the Victorian Pathways Certificate.
Nominations open for Outstanding VCE VM Student Awards
Nominations are now open for Outstanding VCE VM Student Awards – an exciting new award category within the Premier’s VCE Awards. These awards will recognise the achievements of high-performing young people who complete the VCE VM in 2023.
