The depth of the results is particularly pleasing, with our median ATAR score being 91.45, and our average ATAR score 86.48. Twenty-five of our students (13%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one per cent of the State. In addition, 33% percent (65 students) achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 52% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better. More broadly, 88% of our students gained a ranking of 70 or better which is a terrific achievement.
There were nine perfect study scores across a range of subjects including English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Accounting and Physical Education. Twenty-two per cent of all study scores were 40 or higher with an average study score of 34.9, and the scaling impact of the more ‘difficult’ subjects that many of our students take translated into very high ATARs.
This year’s Duces are Ethan Lau and Ben Ngo, who both scored the highest possible rank of 99.95. Our Proxime Accessit was Ivan Zhang, who scored 99.90. All three have been exceptional students and worked very hard at their studies, as well as being actively involved in the full life of the School.
In this moment, the focus is on the ATAR scores, but we want to emphasise that these numbers are only a small measure of a student's true value. Far more important are the resilience, deep friendships and life lessons they cultivated at School – these are the assets that will truly shape their journey ahead. Most importantly, our graduating students are well-prepared to step into their chosen future, with most gaining entry to their first-preference university courses.
I wish to thank and commend our remarkable teaching staff, whose dedication helped our students achieve such fantastic results. Their pride in the students' success is clear, and I am deeply proud of them in turn. We also congratulate and thank our parents for their constant support through the inevitable ups and downs of their child’s VCE year.
A final, heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2025 on results that reflect their sustained effort and commitment.
Mr Ben Jeacocke
Principal
