Our 2014 Year 12 results were outstanding. 11 students (5.2%) achieved an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) score of 99 or better (top 1%), which is outstanding for a non-selective school dedicated to providing an all-round education. The Duces of the School were Sam Parsons (P’14) and Zoe Yang (Ga’14), who achieved a perfect IB score of 45 out of a possible 45 points, which converts to an ATAR score of 99.95. Sam and Zoe were two of 78 students (36.8%) to achieve an ATAR score of 90 or above (top 10%). “There were some outstanding individual results, reflecting the hard work which these students put into their studies over the past two years and we were delighted for them that they achieved what they deserved,” Principal, Stephen Meek, said. “As a non-selective school, we are proud of all our students’ results and acknowledge the dedication of our exceptional teaching staff and the partnerships between our parents, staff and students to provide the best learning outcomes. We do provide an all-round education and thank our students for their marvellous contributions to all aspects of school life.” In 2014, there were 164 VCE candidates and 48 IB candidates. When combined, the School’s median ATAR was 83.40, which means that the top 50% of our students were in the top 16.5% of the State. 38 students (17.9%) achieved an ATAR of 95 or above.
