Completing Year 12 is a tough task at the best of times and the graduating class of 2023 have all recently celebrated the end of their exams, perhaps even letting loose with a schoolies trip.
Casey MP Aaron Violi has established a new award to recognise the extraordinary efforts of a Year 12 student in the electorate, the Casey Shield, with the inaugural recipient coming from Upper Yarra Secondary College.
Casey MP Aaron Violi said Tahli is such a deserving recipient.
“She has exemplified the power of perseverance and a growth mindset while completing her VCE studies and has a commendable determination to refine her study methods and embrace new strategies to reach her full potential,” he said.
“Congratulations again, Tahli on your unwavering commitment to your studies.”
Mr Violi attended the Upper Yarra Secondary College’s Year 12 valedictory dinner to present Tahli with the award and congratulate the rest of the Year 12 cohort on their achievements this year.
“I’ve established the Casey Shield awards because it is so important that we recognise and celebrate the hard work and effort of our local students,” said Mr Violi.
“We have students doing amazing things to better themselves and the lives of others and it is an honour to be able to recognise them through my Casey Shield.”
The last hurdle of VCE awaits students on Monday 11 December when final study scores and overall ATARs are released at 7am.
Students must be registered for the 2023 VCE Results and ATAR Service to see how they fared, which they can view on the website or mobile app until 5pm Friday 15 December.
If students have any questions to ask after receiving their ATAR they can contact The Post Results and ATAR Service (PRAS). The PRAS can be contacted at (03) 9637 3877 (metropolitan callers), 1800 653 080 (free call) or by emailing pras@education.vic.gov.au.
