Queensland Premier’s QCE Student Awards Ceremony
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Matilda Grant and Tianyu Shen (2025 Alumni), who were recognised with a Distinguished Academic Achievement Award at the Queensland Premier’s QCE Student Awards Ceremony.
Out of more than 57,000 Year 12 students across Queensland in 2025, only 37 students were honoured for their exceptional academic achievements, a remarkable testament to their dedication and excellence.
This exceptional group of young people stood out not only for their academic success, but for their curiosity, their open-mindedness, their desire for global connection and for their strong commitment to giving back to their communities.
Matilda and Tianyu embody these qualities beautifully. Their achievements reflect both their hard work and their passion for making a positive impact in the world.
We are so proud of you both.
