Year of study pays off to top students MORNINGTON Peninsula secondary schools are pleased with their students’ ATAR results in the recent VCE examinations. Here is a sample of schools and scores. Rosebud Secondary College Rosebud Secondary College students say “consistent hard work, encouraging teachers and supportive friends� are the ingredients to educational success. Twenty-one achieved outstanding VCE results. School captain Cooper Corbett, who scored the college’s top tertiary entrance rank of 99.25, said: “This school gave me both the opportunities and the support to achieve the craziest of my dreams and I am forever grateful for that.� Cooper has been offered a scholarship by Monash University and hopes to study a double law/computer science degree. He was one of five students to go through the college’s select entry accelerated learning (SEAL) program to achieve a score above 90. Having achieved a perfect study score of 50 for Australian history while in Year 11, Alexandra Dellaportas this year juggled studying, teaching flute and choreographing an awardwinning performance for the Wakakirri dance event to achieve a result in the high 90s. “The score is awesome but I would have followed my passion for dance regardless of any number,� she said. Mitch Towers achieved a study score of 50 for physical education and, like Alexandra, a tertiary entrance rank in the high 90s. “The teachers have understood how I learnt best and helped me to reach my academic potential,� he said. “With nine students achieving ATARs above
90, a further 12 with scores above 80 and 30 study scores above 40, we couldn’t be prouder of the class of 2015,� Rosebud principal Andrew Nicholls said. “These and many other students gave their best effort and it has paid off in their results.� Padua College PADUA College dux Georgia Smith achieved an ATAR of 98.65 and David Flynn received a perfect study score in further mathematics.
