Casey Grammar graduate Zain Wasif received a prestigious Premier’s VCE Award after scoring top marks for Industry and Enterprise.
Zain, the 18-year-old from Officer, was recognised for his hard work and outstanding achievement in the 2023 VCE at a special presentation ceremony at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday 17 July.
The Premier’s VCE Awards recognise the exceptional accomplishments of individual students and pay tribute to the schools, teachers and families who play a valuable role in supporting students during their VCE studies.
Zain attended Casey Grammar School for six years and Industry and Enterprise was one of his favourite VCE subjects.
It prepares students for the world of work and incorporates topics such as the workplace culture of different organisations, occupational health and safety, the impacts of changing societal values on workplaces and the impact of technology.
“The subject builds enterprising skills and work experience through a range of practical and written tasks. We looked at our own personal work experiences so far to understand how various industries operate and we studied a range of Australian and international industries,” Zain said.
Zain, who is now studying physiotherapy at university, has some advice for the current batch of VCE students preparing for exams later this year.
“Understand how VCE grades are marked, break down the questions and be straightforward and concise in your answers,” he said.
“Don’t stress too much, take breaks and enjoy activities outside of study, too.”
“Casey Grammar is thrilled to see Zain receive a Premier’s VCE Award. It is very well-deserved and recognises Zain’s commitment to his studies,” Casey Grammar principal Fiona Williams said.
“Zain was an exceptional student who always did his very best inside and outside the classroom. He brought energy and plenty of ideas to school and Casey Grammar wishes him the very best for his future.”
