The 2021 WACE exhibitions and awards have been publicly announced and these are now available on the Top Scores site.
This year, two students earned themselves top spot in the year 12 awards list by bagging a total of eight awards each. They were Lawrence Nheu (Perth Modern School) who was this year's WACE Beazley Medal winner, and Dorian Winter (John Curtin College of the Arts). Both students earned two Subject Exhibitions in their awards haul.
Amongst the schools, the students at Perth Modern School collected the largest number of awards this year, with a total of 220 awards, including 12 General Exhibitions.
Congratulations to all of this year's high achievers.
In Western Australia, students who complete year 11 and 12 studies gain a Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). The WACE framework replaced the former system based upon the Tertiary Entrance Exam (TEE).
A WACE qualification requires a minimum of 20 units or equivalent, 10 units of which must be at year 12. Units are chosen from the ATAR, General, Foundation, VET or Preliminary courses. The ATAR courses are for students who are aiming to go to university.
To gain a WACE qualification, students must achieve a grade C or higher in at least 14 units, with a minimum of six of those being at a year 12 level. These must include at least four year 12 ATAR courses or Cert II VET study units.
The W.A. School Curriculum and Standards Authority recognises academic prowess through a range of exhibitions, awards and medals.
The WACE program is administered by the W.A. School Curriculum and Standards Authority, formerly the W.A. Curriculum Council.
The S.C.S.A. is responsible for the accreditation of senior school courses, as well as the conduct of the year 12 external examinations, the assessment of student achievements, and record-keeping in relation to students' participation, assessment and achievements.
