Aidan Demmers received
the Distinguished Academic Achievers Award
This award is
for students who demonstrate exceptionally high achievement across a diverse
range of learning options. The number of recipients varies from year to year,
with the selection panel using student achievement information to determine the
top students.
Students were
initially shortlisted because they achieved all of the following:
• A QCE
• An OP1
• An A on the QCS Test
• 20 or more semesters of Authority
subjects at VHA standard.
The winners were selected by
comparing the students’ achievements in the following areas:
• Overall QCS Test performance
• Tertiary entrance ranking
• Number of semesters at VHA
standard
• Performance in Authority
subjects
• QCE credit for Authority
subjects, university subjects, VET diplomas and Advanced diplomas
• Total QCE credit
Aidan's career goal is to enter the field of creative writing and become an author.
Aidan's favourite subjects in Year 12 were English and Film, Television and New Media because he enjoyed the challenge both subjects posed and the opportunity to be creative.
Aidan said, “My parents were a source of
constant support throughout Year 12. I’d also like to thank my teachers for
bringing their subjects to life and shaping my educational experience”.
