Ivanhoe Grammar School is immensely proud of our Class of 2016 and their achievements in their final year of secondary school. In addition to all the wonderful co-curricular and community service accomplishments during the year, our VCE and International Baccalaureate (IB) students have again produced another strong set of academic results. Students studied hard and approached their Year 12 exams with dedication and commitment.

As an open-entry school, students of all abilities are a part of our School community. Although the results below share some of our top achievements, the importance of celebrating the personal best of all our students cannot be underestimated.

EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS Congratulations to our top achievers: our IB Dux and our Dux of VCE at each campus. For these three female students, their dedication and hard work was realised with exceptional results.

Olivia Leyden received a perfect IB score placing her in the top 0.3% of IB graduates internationally. Leah Traill and Chloe Ioannidis ATARs place them in the top 1% of students in the State. This is a significant achievement for each of these students and we wish them all the best in their chosen tertiary studies.

TERTIARY: Biomedicine at Melbourne University (Chancellor’s Scholars Program) WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A SENIOR STUDENT AT IVANHOE?

Figure out what is it that you want to achieve and start working towards it as soon as possible. Year 12 is a lot of work; there are no shortcuts but it’s all worth it once you get to see your hard work pay off. Balance is also important: don’t neglect your friends, family and the social elements of school.

DREAM CAREER: I would like to be a doctor.

CHLOE IOANNIDIS - VCE ATAR OF 99.1

TERTIARY: Law(Honours)/Global Studies at Monash University WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A SENIOR STUDENT AT IVANHOE?

I would tell students to believe in themselves. As clichéd as it sounds, have faith in your abilities because if you work really hard and at your absolute best then you are capable of achieving far more than you think and you really will surprise yourself.

DREAM CAREER: A career with a human rights focus, where I am able to be a part of rewarding work that has a positive impact on peoples’ lives.
