A Hume Anglican Grammar student has received a Premier’s VCE Award.

Year 12 student and school captain, Meron Nona received the award after achieving a perfect score of 50 in biology while studying units three and four in year 11.

He was one of 310 students to receive a Premier’s VCE Award during a ceremony earlier this month.

Meron said he was proud of his achievement.

“I remember the shock and amazement I felt seeing my score for the first time. It was amazing to attend the ceremony and seeing all that [the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority] does to acknowledge the hard work and efforts of students,” he said.

“I loved biology last year, so it was awesome to have achieved such a great score in it.”

Meron acknowledged the support of his teachers, especially his biology teacher, Ms Mathew, who provided valuable assistance and motivation as well as expressing gratitude to his family for their unwavering support throughout his academic journey.

He hopes to pursue a career in medicine.
