Beazley Medal

Beazley Medal

The Beazley Medal is an award made by the Curriculum Council of Western Australia to the year-twelve secondary student with the highest Curriculum Council award score. The award is the highest profile and most prestigious academic award for secondary students in Western Australia.

The award score is based on the average of five Tertiary Entrance Exam (TEE) scaled marks, calculated to two decimal places, with at least two marks from the humanities/social sciences subjects and two from the mathematics/science subjects.
