Congratulations to the below recipients for the 2023 awards

Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program 

Each year, high-achieving year 10 students from Victoria are nominated to take part in an academic enrichment program designed to support high-achieving secondary school students to achieve their personal best. The Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program is named after Professor Kwong Lee Dow, a former University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor and distinguished educational scholar. 

Successful applicants take part in an exciting two-year program run by the University of Melbourne. Students participate in events and activities that will expand their academic and personal horizons. Students in this program also benefit from having access to the Kwong Lee Dow Scholars community, the University of Melbourne libraries, and overseas study scholarships. 

The University of Melbourne received over 2000 applications for the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program. The year 10 and Pathways team would like to congratulate Lina Safar of 10F who was selected to take part in the program!! Lina has consistently demonstrated dedication towards her learning and has modelled our school values of belonging, understanding, respect, and growth.
