Geelong High School student wins top honours

Geelong High School student Alex Aidt received top honours for his outstanding VCE results in 2023.

Alex received a Premier’s VCE Award for excellence in Theatre Studies, making him one of the top Theatre Studies students in the state.

“To me, this award is proof that effort in the right place can go far,” said Alex, who is now studying a Bachelor of Secondary Education (Honours) & Bachelor of Music (Composition & Music Tech) at Monash University.

“All I wanted out of Year 12 was to come out of it knowing that I had tried my best. It was a marathon - I struggled to keep up the pace, but I had a good time and the challenges made me a better person today.”

Geelong High School principal Davin Reid said the entire school community was proud of Alex and his achievements.

“Alex is an amazing young person who is a leader in the school and wider community. All of the staff and students are so proud of Alex. Alex involves himself in all aspects of school life and he is a role model to all students at Geelong High. We wish him the best for his future”

310 of Victoria’s top performing students were recognised at this year’s Premier’s VCE Awards, including three international students, six students who completed the VCE Vocational Major program with distinction, and 23 Top All-Round VCE High Achievers who achieved study scores of 46 or higher out of 50 in at least five VCE subjects.
