Top 3 International Student: Leo Zhan
On 2 July 2025, Bangye (Leo) Zhan was recognised with a merit award as one of the Top 3 International Students of 2024 in the Victorian Premier’s VCE Awards. Leo was our DUX with a score of 99.8. He was also our International Captain.
Leo joined our school from China in 2020 as a Year 8 student, and quickly become an integral part of our school community. A quick thinker and fast learner, he focused on his studies and known for supporting helping his peers to excel in Maths and Science.
Beyond academics, Leo is a talented clarinettist who performed during our 2023 Multicultural Day, and was the MC for our 2024 Multicultural Day. Leo was a strong leader, serving as our International Leader in Years 10 and 11 and as one of our two International Captains in 2024. His debating achievements included leading his team to victory in the 2022 Victorian Chinese Debate Competition and securing third prize in the 2023 World Secondary School Chinese Debate Competition. An engaging speaker, Leo inspired our international students through heartfelt speeches, encouraging them to embrace inclusivity and step out of their comfort zones.
We at Camberwell High are so proud of all that Leo accomplished, congratulated him on this outstanding recognition and look forward to seeing what his future holds.
