The 2024 WACE exhibitions and awards have been publicly announced and these are now available on the Top Scores site.
This year a special shout-out goes to Ethan Yap (Perth Modern School), who was the only student to chalk up a total of eight awards, including the Beazley Medal (WACE), one Subject Exhibition and four Subject Certificates of Excellence.
In second place, Arya Pandey, also from Perth Modern School, was the only student to chalk up six awards this year, including two Subject Exhibitions and three Subject Certificates of Excellence.
Amongst the W.A. schools, the students at Perth Modern School once again collected the largest number of awards this year, with a total of 257 awards, including 19 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.
