HSC Premier's Award for All-Round Excellence? Still a thing?

Hi everyone!

 I was just wondering, out of curiosity, whether or not you receive anything extra if you manage to get 10+ units of Band 6 or E4 results for the HSC other than being placed on the All-Round Achievers List?
Like do you receive an extra certificate or something?
I vaguely recall that there used to be this morning tea hosted for all-round achievers before in the past but now they can't host it anymore because there are way too many people who manage to acquire that achievement nowadays to be able to fit at one morning tea!
I also saw this photo of this medal which they gave out to all-round achievers but that photo was from 2008 which is like a decade ago! Is that still a thing? Or have they gotten rid of that as well?

Thanks :)
(And I just finished my half yearly exams today so yay!!!!!!!)

Hey!! Congratulations on finishing exams!! ;D

I was a 2014 All Rounder, I got a letter and a certificate from the Premier (or the assistant to the assistant to the Premier probably, aha) - No idea if that's still the case!!

No morning tea though - Such a bummer ;)

Hahaha thanks for your reply and congrats on getting that achievement! That's nice to hear that you still got a certificate; fingers crossed that they'll have one for my year (and that I can hopefully get Band 6s in all my subjects!)

Yeah, bummer about the morning tea. And the lack of medal as well. I've attached an image which I found on the Board of Studies website of the medal which was given to 2008 All-Round Achievers :)

We got extra certificates in 2017 so you should be all good!
