Two young Western Australians have been awarded the prized 2005 Beazley Medals for their outstanding achievements in education and training.
Acting Premier Eric Ripper today joined Education Minister Ljiljanna Ravlich in announcing Adrian Khoo of Scotch College as the winner of the Beazley Medal: TEE.
Linda Greenwood Tully of Methodist Ladies College is the winner of the Beazley Medal: Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Mr Ripper and Ms Ravlich congratulated both winners for their brilliant achievements at school.
The Acting Premier said the Beazley Medals - in TEE and VET subjects - highlighted the wide range of opportunities available in education in WA.
"In this resource-rich State, we should never lose sight of the fact that our greatest resource lies in the talent of our young people," Mr Ripper said.
"2006 promises to be a year of unprecedented opportunities for all of our school leavers, in further education, training or work."
Ms Ravlich applauded Adrian and Linda on their outstanding individual performances and wished them well in their future studies and careers.
"Both students have achieved the highest standards thanks to their own talents and hard work, the commitment of their teachers and the strength of the State's education system," Ms Ravlich said.
"In congratulating these two outstanding students on their achievements, I also acknowledge all students across the State who worked hard last year in their TEE and VET studies.
"The VET program provides a viable and relevant education alternative for those students whose career interests are not adequately served by the TEE curriculum."
- Adrian Khoo scored scaled marks of 100 in Calculus, Chemistry, Physics and English Literature, 95.26 in Applicable Mathematics and 88.93 in French. Adrian received a General Exhibition and Subject Exhibitions in Chemistry, Physics and English Literature. He also was awarded Certificates of Distinction in English Literature, Chemistry, Physics and Calculus and a Certificate of Excellence.
- Linda Greenwood Tully won a Subject Exhibition in Senior English, a Certificate of Distinction in Senior English and earned consistently high scores throughout Years 11 and 12, which earned her a Certificate of Excellence. Linda also earned a Certificate II in Community Services (Children's Services) and a Certificate I in Hospitality (Operations). Linda is currently holidaying in New South Wales.
A total of 1,068 Curriculum Council Awards will be presented to 775 winning students from schools around the State.
Ms Ravlich also reminded the State's top TEE students that they qualified for the Gallop Government's Best and Brightest Scholarships.
"Scholarships of $3,000 are available to the 40 General Exhibition winners from this year, if they choose to stay in WA and study at a local university," she said.
The winner of the Beazley Medal: TEE and the Beazley Medal: VET each receive a medallion and cheque for $2,000.
All prizes will be presented at the Curriculum Council Awards Presentation Ceremony at the University of WA on Wednesday, February 15, 2006.
