Victorian Bar Foundation Student Achievement Award

Group of students holding awards who won the 2022 Victorian Bar Student Awards

The Victorian Bar Student Achievement Award is a youth recognition award for academic achievement in Legal Studies, sponsored by the Victorian Bar Foundation and Hume City Council. The award is open to secondary schools in Hume and provides a grant of $1,500 to the highest achiever in Legal Studies Units 1 & 2 who is enrolled in Legal Studies Units 3 & 4 in the year the prize is awarded. The Student Achievement Award winners, families, teachers and Award patrons will attend an Award Ceremony in June to recognise and celebrate the student’s achievements.

In addition, schools can nominate a student to receive an Encouragement Award to recognise those who have demonstrated ongoing commitment in Legal Studies. They will attend a work experience day at the Victorian Supreme Court in September, along with their fellow Achievement Award students. This will include a tour of the Victorian Supreme Court and meeting with inspiring barristers. This provides opportunities for students interested in pursuing careers in law to further enhance their professional and peer support networks.
