LIST: Every NT Board of Studies award winner named, 2023

Dozens of students have been named among the highest academic performers in the Territory at the NT Board of Studies awards. See the full list.

Some of the Territory’s best and brightest students were recognised for achieving incredible results in their schooling at the Northern Territory Board of Studies (NTBOS) Awards held at Parliament House in Darwin.

Dozens of high-achieving students across the NT have been recognised for their outstanding results.

59 kids were recognised by the NT Board of Studies for their academic results across 30 categories.

Several received their certificates during a ceremony at Parliament House in Darwin last week and more celebrated in Alice Springs on Thursday.

Daicos Cooper was among some of the Territory’s best and brightest students recognised for achieving incredible results in their schooling at the Northern Territory Board of Studies (NTBOS) Awards held at Parliament House in Darwin.

Education Minister Mark Monaghan said it was important to highlight the ongoing gains in education and the students leading the NT’s success journey.

“These awards highlight students who have worked hard, didn’t stop and gave it their best and the results are proof,” he said.

“It is also important to acknowledge the families and communities who have supported these students to reach their full potential, because without that support education becomes much more difficult.

“Education is the key to success in every way, our young people will shape the future of the Territory, and today we celebrated our future leaders.”

Muhammad Kazi was among some of the Territory’s best and brightest students recognised for achieving incredible results in their schooling at the Northern Territory Board of Studies (NTBOS) Awards held at Parliament House in Darwin.
