Top Salesian students lauded

Two of Salesian College’s stellar students have been recognised among the best performing students in the state as part of the Premier’s VCE Awards.

Madeline Hendy and Michelle Grover both received a Study Award, which celebrates students for achievement in individual coursework.

Madeline was recognised for achieving a perfect score of 50 in legal studies while Michelle was recognised for achieving the highest marks in agricultural and horticultural studies.

Salesian College principal Mark Brockhus said the awards were validation for all of their hard work.

“The entire Salesian College community is so proud of Maddie and Michelle and wish to congratulate them on being recipients of such a prestigious award, achieved through a passion for learning and a desire to be their best,” he said.

The pair joined more than 300 award recipients across 90 different areas of study.

Sunbury MP Josh Bull said both students should both be proud of their efforts.

“I congratulate the students from Salesian College Sunbury on these fantastic achievements,” he said.

“The success of these students is a credit to not only their hard work and abilities, but also to the support of their families, friends and school community.”
