Hume Anglican Grammar’s vice-captain Saatvik Sehgal, has recently been honoured with the Premier’s VCE Award for his outstanding academic achievements in systems engineering.
The award was presented to him at a formal ceremony held on Thursday, July 27 to recognise top-performing students who excelled in their VCE study scores.
Saatvik, who achieved a remarkable study score of 50 in systems engineering, was one of only three students in the state to receive this award for systems engineering.
Saatvik, who has always been passionate about creating things using basic components, said he was very happy he was recognised by a state wide body for his hard work over the past two years.
“I am so overjoyed that my hard work throughout the last two years has been recognised. I have always had a passion for creating things using basic components. It’s something I have pursued since year 8,” he said.
Hume Anglican Grammar said it was proud of Saatvik’s extraordinary academic success, especially considering that he achieved top results while studying as a year 11 student.
“Our students are dedicated and passionate about their studies and that same dedication and passion is shared by our wonderful staff. We are extremely proud of Saatvik’s academic achievement,” principal Bill Sweeney said.
Saatvik is currently studying year 12 and hopes to pursue a career in an engineering discipline such as mechatronics.
“My dream role would be leading a project in the space industry, as I love the idea of space exploration,” he said.
