MELBOURNE, 9 September 2021: Sanya Verma, last month was awarded the VCE Premier’s Award for Hindi 2020, for the year 12 level. Sanya passed out her VCE from the St Margaret’s School, Berwick, and studied Hindi at the Victorian School of Languages (VCL) Centre in Dandenong. She obtained the highest VCE score for Hindi in Victoria in 2020.
Sanya started her Hindi from class 7, her primary motive being to read, write and improve oral skills in the language. Sanya’s Hindi teacher in 2020 was Bhavya Shah, who also teaches Hindi at the VSL Distance Education (although she returned to India recently for family reasons).
She believes being able to develop a skill that you can carry life-long and being able to communicate with others is such a unique skill that we all need to have.

Sanya recommends senior students studying VCE Hindi should aim to undertake unique activities regularly to polish their language skills. She says, “If you want to succeed in VCE you need to be able to stand out in your ideas and the way you think.”
In the future, Verma hopes to work in the field of Data Science and IT and firmly believes her language skills will help take her career to a world platform.
